Rejoice, your paint guns are now all howitzers!
Thankfully the dictionaries get a little more specific. I do want an artillery capable paint gun though, that sounds rad
I presented the above as a joke and I had faith that the definition of a howitzer wasn't that vague to begin with.

I used to think howitzer was a specific model or even brand of artillery piece, like the Gucci bag of artillery.
The Task Manager in Windows always had an "Applications" tab and a "Processes" tab, going back to Windows 98 at least. "Programs" was always too broad and restricted to being colloquial; the specific word was either application or executable.
What's worth ranting about is whether people have stopped understanding "App" as short for something.
