Seems like itThe plain English people irk me a bit. I can understand the desire to eradicate language like "time shift function" that doesn't really mean anything useful but if it's recognised technical language then leave it be and educate people.
Take ethernet for example. Changing everything to say network instead would be wrong as there are other ways to network but people without technical knowledge should be able to understand it. Using "Network cable (ethernet)" helps everybody. Non-techies understand and techies still get the information they're after.
