But bringing "what others do" or "if all your friends were jumping off a bridge" into the discussion implies a moral or ethical issue, which this is not.

Good lord, Snaqs.

For the second time, this is neither ethical nor moral. This is about accuracy. If 2+2=4, and everyone around you wants it to equal 5, it's still 4. As they say, you're entitled to your own opinion, but you're not entitled to your own facts.

Nor can I. Even I can live with "red" under those circumstances.

Anyway, if we can run up and down the court with these kids, we can easily project two syllables.
