Re: Eurocentrism, incorrect unit abbreviations, and proprietary Royalist Engish (sic) terms

Joe,

The Type Names are a guide...not really anything other than a semantic
placeholder.
The Type Descriptions are a guide...not really anything other than a
semantic placeholder's definition.

I.E.  We could have a Type called
"FirePitsForPeopleToCookMarshmellowsAndHotDogs" with a definition of "a
spot, of fire, to do whatever you want.  Some folks just watch it, others
might pitch a tent nearby it, still others might never light the thing, and
hence its just a pit, nay....just a spot".

It doesn't matter.
But as you can see, it sorta does matter.
We want Types and Properties labels and definitions to not get lost in
translation.
And...
Developers still get it wrong sometimes on proper usage of them, no matter
what labels we use or how we define it, or what languages we use.
And...
That's OK.

(Mostly)
:-)

Let's move on Joe.
