Title:
  "departments" is an awkward way to say "categories"

Status in “unity-scope-click” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In the app scope, apps can be displayed by their logical group, in a
  hierarchy.  Internet apps, games, word processing, etc.  These groups
  are called departments, like a department store.

  As far as I can tell, the usual term for this is "categories" instead
  of "departments".  Not a huge issue, but a little awkward, especially
  for western-hemisphere folks.

  A couple extra data points here, from the mailing list:

  From: Nathan Haines <nhaines@xxxxxxxxxx>
  Just as a usage note, this is perfectly identical in American English. But the
  Ubuntu desktop already uses the term 'category' and "department" feels much
  more suited to a physical store.  (Specifically a department store.)
  So that may help explain why it feels a little out of place.

  From: Matthew Paul Thomas <mpt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
  Ubuntu Software Center used to have "Departments". We switched to
  "Categories" in 4.0, because that made more sense given the existence
  of subcategories.
