I appreciate Chris' knowledge of most things, especially VTAM. But apparently he has a "thing" about USS. And also appears to believe that if he continues to be "bothersome" about the "misuse" of the term USS, that either: (a) people will be educated and will voluntarily change or (b) will become tired of hearing the rants and so change their usage just to shut him up. I doubt that either will occur. IMO, in most cases the meaning of USS is easily recognizable from the context. If it is not, then the email is likely so vague or poorly written that trying to understand what is needed is a waste of my time, and I ignore it.
