Thanks George for pointing out an important aspect regarding the choice of names. Will you consider a vote if there is a better name? I do admire your idea of respecting other languages. In 21st centuary, people are considering these facts. Recent developments, such as GitHub’s decision to rename master to main, is a famous example of these. Even Coq developers want to rename it just because it was supposedly associated with mail anatomy .

Sure, I would love to come up with an RFC. This thread has provided me with enough content to build my argument. I am thankful to you for razing many great points, such as descriptive naming. As for voting rights, it is yours, sir,, and no one is stealing this from you. Though you are against this proposal, what if you reconsider and revisit your idea? Just because Sara and You and also my friends at php.earth are against it, it does not mean that people are not supporting it. I am following it on externals, some people down-voted this thread and some up-voted it. Currently, it is in positive number. I have referred to it just because people do follow our discussions and have mixed opinions regarding this.
