    The obsession to have dedicated words when one would rarely bother to specify and just use the generic term anyway will forever elude me.

    There is very little difference to me between saying two 1 syllable words and one two syllable words. And English is a very packed language. Most english wordy things already have meaning and reserving a 1 syllable thing that is sufficiently different to be distinguishable is just not realistic.
