New people should learn existing lingo, as that is the word used in the existing documentation and various random web pages, so that they can use the same language when they teach people who are newer than themselves. If the existing word was not pretty (that came from "pretty-formatting") but something unpronouncible like '--gzxfw=short", then your argument might make some sense, but there is no such "breakage we need to fix" here.
