** Description changed:

  In the Power Menu, "Suspend" should be renamed to "Sleep" because sleep
  falls on a continuum with hibernation/"Hibernate", and "sleep" is a more
  intuitive term for new users (you can verify this by asking ten people
  who have not used Ubuntu what it means to "suspend" a computer, then ask
  another ten people who have not used Ubuntu what it means to "sleep" a
  computer).
  
  ---------
  
  Specifically in Power Management Preferences, both words "sleep" and
  "suspend" are used and mean the same thing. Under Actions is "Put
  computer to sleep when inactive for:" while the drop-down selection
  boxes have "Suspend" as an option.

Off".
