War of words in your native languages?

With the World Cup happening at the time I’m writing this post, it’s almost inevitable to think of what might currently be the most heated war of words in English: the debate between calling the sport “football” instead of “soccer.” DW did a piece about this a while back that’s worth a watch: https://youtu.be/Ld5pfFrPBVE

That got me curious: are there any wars of words in your native languages currently happening that you know of (or any that happened in the past that you’re familiar with)? Please share.
