I have replied on his blog, but I'll repeat the gist of it here. Why is there a fear of using existing terminology that is exact? Why do people want to invent new words when there are already existing ones with the exact meaning that you want? If I see Monoid I know what it is, if I didn't know I could just look on Wikipedia. If I see Appendable I can guess what it might be, but exactly what does it mean?
I would suggest that having to look things up slows people down and might distract them from learning other, perhaps more useful, things about the language.
