No need to buy a dishing tool..they are a no-brainer to make. If you can fix bikes/true a wheel, you can make a dishing tool.
As for dish vs centering..potatoes, patahtoes. There was a movement for a while "speak simply and clearly".
If a word is well understood and in common use, there's not a reason in the world to substitute another word that immediately raises the question..what do you mean? English is convoluted enough without adding to the pile.
If you want to rail against a word..try "clipless" pedals. Completely bogus term. There's nothing "clipless" about, for example, an SPD pedal. You step on it and immediately clip in. You even hear a click. The old toe clips were less "clipless" than the current clipless pedals.
