:::::::We differentiate "meteor smash" and "spike" because there is an actual functional difference, regardless of how people use the terms. "Midair jump" and "double jump" are functionally identical. We are not "misinforming" anyone by using "double jump" as the primary term because, guess what, it's not wrong. It's even [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/double_jump in Wiktionary] as "To execute a second jump while still in midair from the first jump." and has been there for four years; "midair jump" has never even had a page. Given this plus the Google results above, the term "double jump" is clearly far more ingrained in the culture of gaming and the internet than "midair jump" is, to the point where the minor edge in semantics that "midair jump" has is insignificant.

::::::::The problem is that the midair jump in Super Smash Bros. does not adhere to Wiktionary's definition. "To execute a '''second''' jump while still in midair from the '''first''' jump." The "double" jumps from Super Smash Bros. can apply to Kirby's floating, jumping after getting hit, and jumping after falling off, so they're not double jumps. As I said, "cover" and "remix" are also two different terms that culture uses interchangeably; common misconceptions are also ingrained in culture: "redecos" and "repaints" | ::::::::The problem is that the midair jump in Super Smash Bros. does not adhere to Wiktionary's definition.

:::::::::The double jump from Team Fortress 2 acts the same: you can use it without having technically made the first jump. And it's still called a double jump, officially in fact (as far as I'm aware). | :::::::::The double jump from Team Fortress 2 acts the same: you can use it without having technically made the first jump.
