In my view we are only using these as the page names because the wiki & html 
won't allow us to use the symbols themselves.

On the forum and wiki in general I expect that we will continue to just use the 
symbols themselves or perhaps the English name given to the actual verb we are 
interested in (e.g. Ceiling ).
