All that's true. Although the word 'loom' in this context isn't as far as I know used in Britain* it does seem to be so common elsewhere that a one-woman crusade isn't gong to effect a change.

Lots of usage of English words - in Britain as well as USA :-) - irritates me but I can only change myself, not anyone else.
