I think that problem is more widespread that just the USA. I have seen
it often in the UK and RSA too. I also believe that is exactly the
reason why Borland changed the name of the language from Object Pascal
to Delphi.


Lets see, what new names can we use.... C became C++, then we got C#,
then we got D.

Umm.. Pascal -> Object Pascal -> Q   :-)    ( the next letter in the alphabet)

So should we just go for P++    (I believe Florian used this idea long long ago)
