Oddly, I have been noodling on something similar! I read a post about why we shouldn’t use the word regulating in the context of the nervous system and it made part of me so annoyed.

But then also I think it’s important to challenge words like that which become buzz words or phrases woven into our culture without examining them so, per usual, I could argue both sides. 🤗

I agree. Also, I notice how much precious energy is required for arguing so I tend to take a “pick your battles” stance.
