Should this really concern us? Or do we I think it would be important for "some subset of the SW community" to have a darned good excuse before they started using "harry" in place of "automobile". So far I haven't seen any good reason to poison the wells like this. Allow me to quote Dag Hammarskjold: "Respect for the word is the first commandment in the discipline by which a man can be educated to maturity - intellectual, emotional, and moral. Respect for the word - to employ it with scrupulous care and an incorruptible heartfelt love of truth - is essential if there is to be any growth in a society or in the human race. To misuse the word is to show contempt for man. It undermines the bridges and poisons the wells. It causes man to regress down the long path of his evolution."
