I'm not going to disagree with you AllPurposeGamer. It is silly, but officials should use the correct language whenever, and wherever, possible. I don't mind posters, like Freddy, occasionally reminding us, with a little humor, about using the proper language, as long as it's not mean spirited, or condescending. Over the years, semantics comments on the Forum, like Freddy's, have encouraged me to think of timeouts as being a two step process, the requesting, and the granting, and that's it's not as simple as a coach calling a timeout.
