That is not a problem except for men who are way more interested being pedantic over semantics than they are in talking about a visual phenomenon.
Hi, I'm autistic.
What you call pedantry, I call accuracy, precision and consistency in communication.
If you want to use words in a way where they have multiple different possible meanings that are context dependent, you can do that, but its always going to be confusing for me and probably most other male autists, unless there are clear and consistent guidelines as to which context should connote which specific, similar but substantially different meaning.
