Funny you should say that. I, personally, have mostly seen the term \\\"space fighter\\\" used on Atomic Rocket and other sites harshly critical of little manned combat ships, and relatively little in actual science fiction games/literature/etc. or discussion of such.
Regardless, why does it matter where and how the term \\\"starfighter\\\" came to be popular, unless you\\\'re wanting to manipulate people into using your preferred term by mandating how it looks on a popular website like TV Tropes? Because really, I can\\\'t think of any other reason why someone would raise such a fuss about it.
It\\\'s not like this sort of thing has never happened in real life. Ever wondered why the word \\\"tank\\\" is so commonly used for \\\"armored fighting vehicles?\\\" When the first combat-ready tanks of WWI were being shipped to France, Britain attempted to disguise what they really were by labeling them as mobile water tanks for Russia. The official designation the British military used at the time was \\\"landships\\\"--but how often do you hear that in place of \\\"tank\\\" nowadays?
