Obviously they are, given how common the usage is. But out of curiosity, why do you feel strongly about this?

Just because something is, common, accepted, or written in stone, doesn’t mean it’s correct.

Because it’s stupid business jargon that no one had the balls to speak up the first time in history when some micro-managing egotistical C-level exec uttered this debauchery. They should have looked at them like they had two heads and said “What the fuck did you just call the power point?”
But no, people just let it slide and now this BS is common place.
Well I am not letting it slide by anymore.
When it comes to language, it sort of does.

Presentation decks pre-date PowerPoint. (I think it derives from how a deck of slides resembles a deck of cards?)
Makes more sense to me than tape decks, anyway.
