I think at youth/lower officiating levels, I might simply prefer more no-calls in both directions for offsides. Allow teams and strategies to take advantage of it, sure we'll get higher scoring youth matches. But I think something needs to be done to simply take poor officiating out of game results, at the younger/lower level officiating levels, the impact referees have on soccer results feels worse than other sports. That factor could very well be a part of why parents are so wound up towards soccer referees and eventually leads to abuse.
I don't care too much about semantics or individual letters, English is a living language. The English used to have a short-hand for Association Football in their slang: "soccer". I don't see a problem with Americans calling offside "offsides" here in America.
