That way, we will ensure that newer users when watching over shoulders of more old timers will have more chance to get confused by unusual synonyms old timers would use without any advantage over the more modern ways they have learned at school, other than the "mustle memory" of old timers. But if nobody is disturbed by that idea, then the above two would be a reasonable way forward.
