The issue is acronyms; there's millions of products, schematics, datasheets, and manuals that refer to them as MISO and MOSI with no further explanation. Any new standard that doesn't fit runs into the 15-competing-standards problem, and ought to be followed by an "AKA MISO" every time it's used.

    Just have to find synonyms that begin with the same letters, possibly in different languages.

    Other countries all use the English terms.
    Except for the French, probably.

    I was thinking of synonyms in different languages, like magister and scholasticus, which are teacher and student in latin.
