Do you ever use a Crescent wrench or Channel-lock pliers?

Why can't we accept that some specific terms are used generically. I don't think that nitpicking a nomencalture is the best first impression to a brand new member.
I understand there is a Correct term and that we, in the industry, should be aware of the correct usage, but the generic term has come into common usage as to be equally identifiable by us and the general masses.

What I would love to know is how the term RJ9 came to be.
