"but it's just semantics, and all the same in the end."
Sorry, it's not "just semantics". "Dropped" and "Uncaught" have different meanings.
"Dropped" means released, which infers the ball was caught and then dropped or released.
"Uncaught" means the ball was not possessed.
There is a HUGE difference. If a third strike was "dropped", it means the ball was caught, and then released. That means the batter is OUT!
Just because 80% use the wrong wordage, doesn't make it right.
