I've been uncertain as to the proper use of some terms. I feel like the proper style for these words, or their synonymity, should be made explicit in this guide. Since I haven't gotten around to integrating these into the guide, I figured I'd put this up for discussion. I've contributed it below my signature in order to foster discussion and remove any implication of ownership. | |||

Since I haven't gotten around to integrating these into the guide, I figured I'd put this up for discussion.
