Hmmm.  I searched the archives for a post last week which mentioned USS
and only found one (on the 28th) - and the discussion was VTAM.  I can't
think of a "pedant" complaining here recently about this issue.  I
remember there was a question earlier this week if USS and OMVS were the
same thing, and the answer was "Many people use USS to mean 'z/OS UNIX
System Services'.  It is an unapproved acronym."  This does not sound
like a complaint to me, it sounds like a helpful answer.

Because every now and then (last week as the latest example) some pedant
complains when somebody else uses the USS in the 'wrong' way.

Sometimes, they are deliberately obtuse, even though the context points
to UNIX System Services rather than VTAM.
