Are you saying they shouldn't pander to their audience?

So a guy who's covering hockey comes from a football background, not from a hockey background. Should he called a goal a "score" or a "touchdown" because he's used to it?

Does the NHL rulebook specify that a goalie allowing no-goals must at all times be refered to as a "shutout"? And don't get me started on the word "tie". Why is it a tie? are the teams tied together by the equal score somehow? Why don't they call it an "equal" or a "level" or something?

its just semantics man. Nil means zero.
