Besides the fact that you're clearly not taking this seriously, anyone can codify whatever they want, including Cannon. They invented them and wrote the spec, along with the nomenclature. If you want to use the names, use them correctly, otherwise use something else.

To which extent can a man go to not accept is wrong in an argument… DB9 and RJ45. Period. I have never once in 45 years of working with open system had somebody misunderstand what you mean with RJ45 or DB9.

That kind of pedantry can be saved for worst errors, like “baud-rate”. There is no such a thing. Baud is a unit [symbols/s]. It could be symbol-rate. I do have seen it bite a team, because symbolism rate was different as bit-rate. And still, I do not think is critical 99% of the time

I'd accept I was wrong if I was wrong, but I'm not. The standard 9-pin serial connector is a DE9 and nothing else. Cannon, the original manufacturer, says so, and no reputable sources say otherwise. Maybe you haven't been confused in 45 years. Other people could be. You could learn something and get it right, instead of being stubborn and objectively wrong.
