Not when doing so makes us appear childish. People are less inclined to
heed warnings from those who they do not take seriously. And in this
case, there's no "meat" to the message. Just name-calling.

Let's call it "windows", then. Though I cannot think of a time when I've
read e.g. "win32" and made an association with "win" as in "victory". Or
if I did, it didn't make me think about Windows better anyway (and I've
used it for years).
Best regards,
Dmitry.
