People in the real world referring to "REST" APIs, the kind that use HTTP verbs and have routes like /resource/id as RPC APIs. As it stands in the world outside of this thread nobody does that.

At some level language is outside of your control as an individual even if you think it's literally wrong--you sometimes have to choose between being 'correct' and communicating clearly.
