Yes, I remember being told to start calling it the Holy Spirit as opposed to the Holy Ghost. Something about making it less scary to the kids.
I usually call it neither, to tell the truth. I guess because I don't conceive it so much as an entity as a gift from God. I don't even think of it so much as a whispering from God. I can't really explain it. I guess I see it as a gift more like eyes or ears. A different sensory receiver. Perhaps that's more in keeping with my view of God.
But of course, I have no real idea. Just a way of thinking that heaven only knows where I've picked up.
Depression and fear are clouding my ability to feel it right now. I'm praying, and gratefully accepting prayers from others, for clarity and wisdom.
