I have an issue with the inclusion of Wyrm in the dragon name when both dragon image has forelimbs that are separate from the wings.
You get mad about someone using wyrm "incorrectly", because you consider wyrms to be dragons with arms that are their forearms (like a bat) due to modern media.
I get mad at modern media, because wyrm is a many centuries old word for a dragon without arms and wings, completely limbless, essentially a giant snake. It's the same root word as worm. Jormungandr is a wyrm.

Congrats, you "have an issue with" someone not using the same wrong definition as you are, but a different wrong one.

I always think of "wyrm"s in the Magic: The Gathering context: big, fat beatsticks that don't have Flying.
