Thanks for this clarification. The fact that these are widely confounded is evidence that many people are comfortable with the term "currying" only because they think it's the same as "partial application", so they appreciate the connotation that you're "adding spice".
So in this case, not only CAN these people stop calling it "currying", but in fact they should, because it's the wrong word.
In my other comment I'm suggesting calling currying "sequencing", and partial application "presetting".
