My beaker is the first one or maybe the third, you're objecting to the second.

Wikipedia has long been invaded by the Brits trying to "take back" their language.

Nowhere (and I mean NOWHERE) in America will you catch anyone referring to any kind of beverage container as a "beaker". As far as vessels are concerned, in America, a beaker is the standard laboratory vessel, period.
