Hi!
I don't plan to be offensive or anything, but I'm still wondering
why we have to find new terms to express old ideas like posting,
forwarding or bouncing some informations (think about e-mails).
If I think about accessibility, I guess most of the people won't
understand the tweet/dent/grunt/whatsoever, when they'll understand
post/forward/bounce quite fast.
My two cents as a question: Does interoperability reside only in
the code or the language used is to be considered too?
That's all, Folks. :)
I agree with you, Fabien.
I strongly prefer the recycling symbol over the sequence of letters
with esoteric references. I never liked "RT" for retweet, and I
dislike "RD" for redent. In my branch[0], I use the term "repeat," so
when you hover over the recycling symbol button the tooltip you're
presented with is "Repeat this notice". Despite the branch name, the
term "redent" doesn't appear in the code.
I think that's service-neutral and clear enough for most people to
understand. What do you think?
