> I mean it's not even right. Most parallel/concurrent pedants would consider multithreaded code to be "parallel" even if it is running on a single core.

Hm, I think running on a single core is the exact definition of what the "pedants" say is not parallel. If all you have is one core then you can't achieve parallelism under their definition.

I think the terminology is pretty well established now. But I do agree with you that it's a bad choice of words and that it's annoying, intelligent even, for people to pick a particular unintuitive definition and then go around brow-beating people for not using/understanding their definition.
