Epoxy is used to refer to any two-part adhesive system only by those whose knowledge is so lacking that all they comprehend is that two parts of something are to be mixed together.
Fortunately the English language is very robust and it affords us the opportunity when it is important to speak in a manner such that ambiguities and misunderstandings are kept to a minimum. One of the ways this is done is to know the definitions of words. What you are saying is that because someone who didn't know the meaning of the word "epoxy" and used it to refer to a totally different adhesive "epoxy" has now been redefined.
It doesn't work that way. "Technical correctness" isn't the issue. If the words you utter don't have a universally understood meaning (a definition) then you might just as well communicate with monosyllabic grunts.
Proper use of the language is frequently an indicator of one's education, knowledge and intelligence. Improper use of the language is... well I let you complete the thought.

Abstract The viscoelastic behaviour of a stoichiometric diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A, (DGEBA), 4,4-diaminodiphenylmethanes (DDM)s epoxy matrix modified with several amounts of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) has been studied by dynamic-mechanical analysis. Mixtures pre-cured at

Good try. Shame you don't understand what you're reading. For example "when PMMA segregated from the epoxy matrix during curing, it had no influence on the crosslinking of the epoxy phase". Right there in your own quote it is clearly stated that PMMA is different from epoxy.
