I have tended as of late to avoid using the term "class A/B/C". Too many people at my job do not understand the meaning and make themselves look stupid. I have instead resorted to using mask be it a /24 or a /27 aka "slash 27" it seems to work well with the people who have some experience. Other you have to train from the binary "11111111.1111111.11111111.00000000". But in the end the classing of addresses has gone the way for EGP "depricated".

"/24" is easier to type than "class C". No trumps! Everybody loses! How many people learn about networks from certification courses or in school, anyway? It was always my impression that people learnt mainly by listening to other people. If networking on the front lines is an informal oral tradition more than it is a taught science, then perhaps it's natural for obsolete terminology to continue to be "taught" long after it stopped having any relevance.
