Ethanal? Ethanoic acid? People actually use those words? Even IUPAC has retained acetaldehyde and acetic acid.

I do; they're what I was taught in 1991-1993 A-level chemistry.

Don't remember ethanal, but certainly ethanoic acid was standard when I did A level in 1986–1988. I think it may have even been in use in Chemistry when I did IA organic.
