It's Just The Principle; Merchandise

So I get that all the hip kids now refer to stuff that stores and people sell as “merch”, and sure, I guess the abbreviation is cute or whatever.  But when on your website every reference to the products you sell uses the word “merch” like it’s so cool that you’ve saved two freaking syllables in your postings, and that somehow the word “merchandise” is now outdated or meaningless (and just so you know, I really am not that big a fan of the word merchandise; it’s just the principle) I’m afraid that I just can’t allow myself to buy your crap, even with your bullshit “volume merch” discount.
