While I don't disagree with you, and I am also quite a picky person about
terms and being precise, what the other posters have stated also makes
sense. Different people interpret terms in different ways and translations
to other languages adds another level of complexity for the developers
when choosing how to name items. There is also the aspect of history and
what has been accepted over time (I think of that as static momentum).

But, where did you submit your wishlist bug? If to Ubuntu, I doubt it
would go anywhere. Something like that would probably have to come from
upstream not a derivative. Doubt you'd have any more luck there though.

After next month there will probably be more meaty issues to discuss in
the list and less time for a question of semantics. ;-)
