    Except we say drivers/passengers side when referring to the side of a car. People dislike port because they can’t remember it from lack of use. Insecurities cause this whole discussion.

    I don’t use it often at all, but when I was 6, I just remembered left/port had 4 letters and haven’t forgotten yet. Some day I might, but me forgetting doesn’t mean I should ask everyone else to stop using language.

    E.g. I have a plethora of grapes. We should stop using the term plethora because they could just say “a lot.”
