Generator - 1 : one that generates
Alternator - an electric generator for producing alternating current

An alternator is a generator. Both the old style generator with a commutator and
an alternator with slip rings are electrical generators. Alternators produce
alternating current which is rectified into direct current (usually internally).
So I think trying to bust somebody for calling an alternating current generator a
generator is a little too picky.
