While we're on the subject, when you say "isn't the term suppose to be", you actually need to say "isn't the term supposed to be". I've noticed that people have started pronouncing this wrong (they now say "suppoes" rather than "suppozed") and that's spread into the written form.

Similarly, people are also replacing the correct "used to" with "use to".

"Use to" can be correct, e.g. "Didn't we use to go to the same school?" The tense of "use" should match the tense of the predicate.
