The reference to embedded LaTeX within a document being written with LyX as "Evil Red Text (ERT)" has bothered me from the first time I saw it. Since LyX is a GUI front end to LaTeX I fail to see how there's anything "evil" about LaTeX.
More to the point, looking at how many requests for help in formatting documents we see on this list involve inserting LaTeX code, the label of ERT can be off-putting to those new to the tools as well as being highly inappropriate. I'm asking that the term be retired. Better yet, killed and buried deep. Notice on the icon bar the square that displays "TeX" and the cursor-hover hint is "Insert TeX code." No more ERT!
