I don't think this is that simple.
If you want to learn about linguistics (and the specific problem of
connotation/denotation), I suggest this good read: "Languages of Art",
by Nelson Goodman.
Fighting for a cause requires some "pragmatic dogmatism", but if it is
not balanced by intellectual openness, then intellectual dogmatism can
impair the whole cause.
I doubt it is worth trying to ground the choice of "w32" over "win32"
on some flawed linguistic theory; "pragmatic dogmatism" can do its job
well enough here.
