Agreed, this verbal erosion of specific terminology adopted for good reason regarding the "Unmanned/Uninhabited" family over the years will lead to traps for the unwary.
Note also that tethered aerostats are now merely often called "aerostats", in sublime ignorance of what the "stat" part of the term actually refers to.
To be honest it all started with the nonsensical term " airplane" , in ignorance of the etymological origination of the correct "aeroplane".
And when was the redefinition of "Strike" ordained?
