--- Comment #1 from Owen Leonard <[email protected]> ---
Although it's not on our Terminology page
(https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Terminology), we've had discussions about
it before.

"cardnumber" as one word is incorrect unless it's referring specifically to a
database column.

"borrowernumber" always refers to a database column, and thus has been kept as
one word where it is shown to the user. Separating it into "Borrower number"
would be confusing because we don't use the word "borrower" in the default
American English templates to refer to patrons.

Some of the instances of "borrowernumber" in the staff interface templates are
part of operations where the user knows that borrowernumber is a database
column because they're doing an import of some kind (tools/modborrowers.t,
patron_lists/list.tt).

Originally the patron detail pages did not show the borrowernumber on the
assumption that it wasn't relevant, but it was later requested that it be added
to the display.
