As I have said in this case, the damage has been done and I have no doubt that a "new convention" is in the making, based, I am afraid to say, on ignorance. I think it is rather a shame, but there we go.
Words , and the use of them can be very emotive, and the use of the word "damage" is very strong, and likewise the phrase " unknowingly flout a convention does not make what they do right" . You might not like, or approve, or think of it as traditional, but as you say often, it is only your opinon, just as it is the option of those that make those changes so to do.
