Re: terms clarification

 

The devs discussed this some time ago and the general consensus is that
symbol is the preferred term.  I've already started converting the UI
strings to use the term symbol.  I'm sure there are UI strings that I
missed.  If you find them, please let me know so I can correct them.

Cheers,

Wayne
