> I'm going to impose my preference on everyone else, even though the term has been part of standard contemporary English for a long time.

At least I, as a non-native speaker, find the edited sentences always easier to read. They simply make the text better.

As the entire point od Wikipedia is to make knowledge accessible with co-writing, I find it just wild that people would object to better language.

So who exactly is imposing their preference on the world: the one making the text easier to read, or the one objecting to the edits?
