Let's play a game.

Don't say PowerPoint presentation, say slidedeck
Don't say Word, say text document
Don't say Photoshop, say image editing
Don't say Excel, say spreadsheet
Don't say...

Language is important. When corporate companies own the names of the tasks or the digital items you create, you have become a cog in their branding machine.

@DrPen Combine your words with actions - use (and promote) alternatives like LibreOffice, Gimp, DuckDuckGo, etc.
@tydalforce definitely wherever possible, especially by using those options (or others). Eg I always use Libre for slides these days. I also recommend other software, not only OS, bc its good for other alternatives too - Affinity, Pixelmator, Scrivener, stuff like OBS, Da Vinci Resolve, Ecosia etc etc. So many great alternatives.
