Why not? In Warcraft 2 or all of the Age of Empires series, the buildings that provide populations are either called houses or look like houses. In Starcraft, Overlords provides populations, so calling them houses is reasonable.

That's like saying you're not allowed to call both landline phones and cellphones "phones." What horrible logic. If you say "houses" in regard to Zerg, everyone in China will know you're talking about Overlords, so no point to come up with another name...?

Maybe it's because I've played WC2, but the term house seems to be pretty self-explanatory. Besides, ovies can carry armies, so they do provide housing.

Chinese terms kick ass and funny as hell sometimes.

Well yes, I would assume everyone in China would know what I'm talking about when I say "houses" in regard to Zerg, since they do say it in the commentaries and nobody gets confused by it. Indeed, there is no need to come up with another name as it is already commonly used and understood.

What does that have to do with ANYTHING I said?

If everyone understands you when you use the term, why shouldn't the term stick, regardless of what other things the same term describes?

also i must add that your counter example is frankly retarded

A retarded example for a retarded point. I'm glad you now see how retarded your logic was..
