This has come up numerous times on the mailing list and is well known. Here
are 3 from a google search but I remember many more [1,2,3]

The problem we have that others do not is internationalisation.

Evidence shows just labelling it menu does wonders but this doesn't
necessarily work in other languages.

I think there's lots of kudos to be had here if a designer wants to tackle
this problem.

So maybe the real question is: is the reason this hasn't been tackled
because it's a hard problem or we have more important things to do or
something else?
