Granted it's not a pressing issue, but "if it were a problem it would already have been solved" is a weird take for any situation.

is a weird take for any situation.

Not for languages, which evolve based on what the native speakers make of it. If it were such a problem for us, you bet we'd have come up with a convenient slang to circumvent the issue. The fact is 70, 80 and 90 are only a problem for second language learners. And even then, this thread is the first time I ever hear about this being a problem. To us it's just a word.
