One of the tipoffs that you are working under fake agile not real agile. I have the same problem with using the word "sprint" as well, but I think the true issue is that most orgs claim to be "agile" when they are actually doing some variety of waterfall with agile verbiage thrown in. The best test for fake agile is if you can't cancel the daily standup, even for a couple of days, via the retro.
