Comment (by chemistrydioxide):

 I think we should confuse users much more than just by using protocol
 names that they don't know. Let's implement a feature that changes the UI
 language every five minutes if there is no purple-rotate-language=off in
 the environment.

 ok, i'll stop being ironic.

 I think users should understand the UI. It doesn't make sense to use a
 language that the user doesn't speak (That's why there is i18n and no
 automatic language rotation).[[BR]]
 It doesn't make sense either to use terms that the majority of users don't
 understand. I think we should use something like "XMPP (Jabber)".

 Refusing to use "XMPP/Jabber" just because Jabber isn't the official name
 of the protocol is just logomachy.
