Before we agree to retire the words, we need to come to consenus
on how the words should be spelt (spelled?).

English, which we all speak and many of us write, I believe has
no other words beginning with more than one capital letter.

Spelling these two words with the first three letters capitalised
creates pronunciation confusion. Listen to any V.O. reader in
UFO-related documentaries. What the hell is a "Yew-Eff-Ologist"?
Is it not simpler to say "You-fologist"?

Why give the uninitiated another reason to roll their eyes in our
general direction?

And why are there those among us who insist on using an
apostrophe 's' when referring to more than one UFO? As in
"UFO's"?
