Rob,
You said:
Swing Is A Proper Noun. So please don't use swings anymore
A commonly occurring phenomenon, particularly amongst non-native English speakers although not necessarily limited to them, is the adoption of incorrect language.
Take for example use of the
word "hoover" instead of vacuum cleaner.
It appears to me that for some reason in India
java developers have adopted using the term "swings" when referring to java "Swing".
