That's why I don't worry much about terminology unless it's something that can be dangerous.
I don't care if it's a "clip" or a "magazine". I don't generally care if someone says "caliber" when I know that they mean "cartridge".

I had this conversation last week with some friends. Someone wondered if we just shouldn't give up and accept the fact that new shooters are going to call magazines "clips."
The answer is flatly "no." We're professionals, and the correct terminology does mean something, even if it seems like we're chasing windmills sometimes.
Frankly, if the zombies are coming, I'll have the Garand, and when I call for a clip, I expect to be thrown an En Bloc, not a box magazine
