But precisely none have come from torturing people over semantics in an effort to appear smarter than you are. Even a lot of evolutionists will use monkey/chimp/ape as a colloquial expression for "the evolutionary predecessor of man." Unless you are referring to a specific one, and even if you are but your audience doesn't know Australopithecus from Arcanthropus and doesn't care to, it suffices.
ape is correct, since modern chimps and modern humans are both classified as apes. Monkey and chimp are not correct classifications for the latest common ancestor of humans and chimps. Monkeys diverged much earlier and chimps were one branch that diverged from this ancestor, so calling it a chimp is not correct. The devil is in the details, and it does nothing for your credibility or for that of anyone else to continue to use incorrect terminology after it's been pointed out to them that they have been using incorrect terms.
