I think most (if not all) of the time "size" is used by players who are either new to reed instruments or self-taught and haven't been indoctrinated into the correct jargon. I try when I answer posts here or students' questions in my studio to just make sure I use the term "strength" and don't reinforce the idea of "size" at my end of the discussion.
