Other then the wide misuse in boids the proper terminology is used among corns, geckos etc. I personally think it would be better to start using the proper terms as it gives an impression of ignorance to those who are familiar with other animals or genetics and then who come into the boid hobby. Of course there will be a high number of people who disagree, and even more who will refuse to use proper terms so even if a small group of individuals begin to use the proper terminology a complete removal of misused terms will be nearly impossible to attain.
