Better usage of terms: Exceptions are thrown (or raised), events are

You are right. "thrown" is not a good wording for Events. I mostly read
"fired" on that behalf.
"Signalled" is not a good choice IMO, because of unix-style signals and
their handlers (e.g. sending a HUP signal to a process, to get it to
re-read its configuration).
"Triggered" can have problems if a database is being used.
"Fired" seems like a fairly good choice, since it also implies immediacy.
