I agree with your outrage, but you have a long way to go. That sort of behavior is the soup du jour of SV the past ten years or so.
Keep fighting the good fight. I've given up, but I hope you win.
10 years is nothing on the scale of language development, and SV is nothing on the scale of the English-speaking world :) Fear not, I bet there aren't enough words to go around for this to be a big deal long-term.
