Mudy,
I think we need to pick our battles carefully,and decide which ones to fight and which ones to leave. The word "mantra" has entered the english lexicon in such a large way that it will be impossible to fight everybody who uses the word. IMHO it is a lot more important to focus your energy to more importanat things like regaining the control over yoga/meditation etc. which is being new-age-ised or americanised. I don't think it is worth spending energy on this fight. But, that i smy personal opinion, and you welcome to have a different one.
Thanks
