You may have to learn to live with this if you read bent threads. On bent forums, it is widely used and so it becomes a part of the normal conversational language. Instead of writing upright, which is not exactly accurate as several bents are ridden upright, or "normal" which implies that bents are "abnormal", it is much easier just to lump all road, mountain, hybrid, etc., bikes into a simple two letter designation - DF for diamond frame.
It works, it is simple, and it reduces confusion.
