Really? How can "current usage" be "improper"? By what standards of propriety?
And what should we do about the improper inhabitants of the Territory of Design? Deport them? Send them to reeducation camps then force them to take a citizenship test? Give them new and proper names and beat them if they resort to their former impropriety?
