Words take on different meanings in different contexts, and get adopted in different domains all the time - this is how language works.

An example - "I'm going to ping Bob to see if he's available"

There are innumerable others.

Sure, this isn't "real-time" in the context of microcontrollers, and RTOS stuff, but in the web app context, I think it counts.

Right, but it would be best to stick with accurate technical definitions when discussing technical issues.
