Yes, we old school pilots still use the term (just like I still buy DVDs,...to which a kid scolded me the other day). The point here (which I thought was obvious) is that the FAA removed it from the text (i.e. THEY no longer use that term) so eventually you will have a whole generation of young pilots who don't use that term at all!
