It is not a problem, it is just completely unnecessary. If you call a team control foul and report the number of the player had the ball, what additional value or information is imparted by calling it a PC foul instead of a TC foul. Neither actually communicates what the player actual did (block, hold, etc.) as is the case with other types of fouls.

As for the palming vs. illegal dribble. It it actually communicates what occurred. If you call traveling while the player is dribbling, be prepared for confusion at best. It was that way for a while and it only led to the need for an explanation on what was actually called.
