Does WotC even refer to 5e as 5e?

not specifically "5e" as written, but "5th edition"? All the time.

Honestly, at this point call it whatever you like. Speaking personally, just about any name works for me except "6e," it's not nearly different enough of an underlying "engine" for that - so I settled on 5.5e

And that's fine. My issues are my own, and I have to live with them. Can't change heads every time I get mad about myself, can I?

DnD 3.5 was also referred to as a revised edition, which sound about right for what this printing is going for.

Yes, but 3.5 is written on the cover of the book literally as follows:

Core Rulebook I
v.3.5

So, if they don't actually write it out on the cover of the book in one way or another that is equivalent to the above, and talk about it as such, I will continue my lone watch on the wall, and it sure gets windy up here!
