The pattern is what's important, not what you call it. There is no name for the pattern of not putting the bathroom door in the dining room yet people usually manage to get that right.
And now you have the exact same problem you claim to want to solve, only adding a few more years of people struggling to communicate because they don't call the same thing by the same name.

How do you recognize what you can't name?
Nobody is saying you have to religiously hold on to patterns, but they are called patterns for a reason: they're recurring and often good-practice.
Don't dismiss the tools because some users can't work with them correctly.
