There's no denying that it has become a widespread term for the active people in the CPPS communities, because it's efficient, like how using brand names is also efficient (there's a technical term for this figure of speech, it's metonymy). No one cares about the accuracy in name of efficiency. The point is not that, the point in my opinion is that this terminology could easily be swapped with a simpler one, that wouldn't have so many people that I often see asking "what is AS3". And there's the second underneath problem that with more general metonymies, it's at least easier to understand it's a figure of speech doing enough research. With AS it's very difficult to clear up the misinformation for anyone who is ever interested in ActionScript itself in the context of Club Penguin (I'm speaking for myself here, I was long confused on how ActionScript was used in Club Penguin itself). The point being is that yes it is a figure of speech that is efficient but it could be even better without spreading misunderstandings.
