Language is an inter-subjective tool for communication tool that perpetuates itself thatbks to people that use it. Redefining the words every time you use them is a waste of time, unless you're doing some academics work (which is not our case I suppose). It's like if you were to redefine every postulate, axiom and theorem of mathematics every time you need to apply derivatives...you can do that, but good luck. It's a tradeoff between practicality and transmission of a message: in this context the "right" and "left" words communicate a broader gist, that's the important thing imo.
