The decision whether to call it JavaScript or ECMAScript really comes
down to, "Do you want to be correct, or do you want people to know what
you're talking about?"
I was giving the reason why I used the language standardized name
(ECMAScript) in the previous paragraph that you snipped. However it is
perfectly okay using the term "JavaScript" when referring to an
ECMAScript implementation. The same happens when you ask for a Band-Aid,
not a bandage; or ask for Kleenex, not tissue, or when you “Google” for
a word instead of searching for it.
