Isn't it time to move on from Freudian language and stop using a word that has so many different meanings in the modern sense?

If we translated things today for the first time we would never translate these ideas to the word 'ego'. I am pretty sure this is just a relic of the times of original translation and Freud's popularity at the time.

I just remember being young and thinking the idea was to quite your personality or destroy your personality. That is such a translation error and distortion of the message. A philosophical problem caused by highly imprecise language.
