This battle is not lost. If we call it the right name and talk to the
press using the right terms, it is not lost yet. Maybe it should be, but
it is really confusing when it gets to the professional community.

"0-day" is two syllables.  "unpatched vulnerability" is a lot more. And

you *certainly* don't have time to explain the difference, or why it matters.
