You can choose to view it either as "another geek went and used the precisely correct word which nobody understands", or as "more evidence that the overwhelming majority of people don't understand math". Both are equally correct. I choose to view it as the latter. I can choose to be a cynic on a small scale, and think the world's one million or fewer hardcore geeks are idiots, or I can choose to be a cynic on a large scale, and think that upwards of five billion people on the planet are idiots for not understanding math. I choose to be a large-scale cynic. :)

Or, I can point out that different words have different meanings in different domains, and what we have here is an unfortunate overlapping of domains where the word has taken on different shades - precise and mathematical for the one, social/exclusionary for the other.
