Why do we do this to ourselves? Words have meaning. This should go doubly so for engineers. Our language should be as precise as possible when describing systems.
English vocabulary rules - vocabulary is built of axiom schemata - are insanely complex, and still we have to rely heavily on disambiguation by context. It is the nature of NL semantics. I'm not arguing against more precise terms of art, just saying that expanding an insanely huge and complex vocabulary isn't a great way to accomplish that. Establish your context, then use your symbols in that context; thus are all utterances disambiguated.
