Yet the egregious executors of exactitude never seem to get stressed when the 9mm Parabellum is incorrectly identified as the 9x19, the 9mm Luger, or the 9mm NATO.
Actually, what I deal with is folks who are unsure their gun chambered in 9x19mm will safely shoot ammunition marked 9mm Luger. There's a great deal of confusion on that.

Fun fact: Georg Luger never referred to his loading as "9mm Luger." That was an invention of American ammunition manufacturers to differentiate it from numerous other 9mm cartridges that were around back then.
