Colloquially, it is. 

But I agree with @justin_shocknet that it understates what Bitcoin is and reinforces affinity scams. 

I only make the distinction clear to friends and family. It's not a crusade of mine. 

Thanks. 
This is a great point. If something is unique, we shouldn't associate it with a group.

Simply because of the one shot principle.

"Absolute mathematical scarcity achieved by consensus in a sufficiently decentralized distributed network was a discovery rather than an invention. IT CANNOT BE ACHEIVED AGAIN since the very thing discovered was resistance to replicability itself."

Often imitated, never replicated. There is no second best. etc. etc.
