Quote: Verb * S: (v) update (modernize or bring up to date) "We updated the kitchen in the old house" * S: (v) update (bring up to date; supply with recent information) * S: (v) update (bring to the latest state of technology) That supports me in my standing opinion that 'Update' is the wrong term here.

Choosing UI terms for the sake of fitting shortcuts instead of meaning?
