Oh, lots of people get DE-9 right. And there's nothing to lose by saying it right even if most people don't.

If you want to see a connector name that is almost universally misused, look at RJ-45. Virtually everybody calls the 8P8C modular telephone connector RJ-45, even though the real meaning of RJ-45 (an ancient hookup standard for modems) is formally documented.
