Yea I know what you mean, I would say personally that 'suppressed' is the most correct term as there are few times that a weapon could be considered 'truly silenced' although you could debate by hearing the action it is still not a silent weapon. Anyhow, the incorrect term is the most common in use so is quickly understood to the general audience that reads the wiki. Also, enthusiasts could debate all day how to pronounce 'cupola' [on a tank/armoured vehicle] but it could be seen as something that doesn't matter. Somewhat relevant, even the 'official term' for a small pistol, "derringer", is actually a misspelling of the last name of Henry Deringer. So even though I think it's a good idea my own standing could be defeated by, 'did the person understand what you meant?' and the answer is most people would probably say no.

But maybe it would be worth starting a discussion post to see what others think. For now I will log the pages with such mentions on my sandbox in that section.
