I agree Stephen.
Sometimes software companies make changes because they, “have to do something!”
I don’t think that is a good reason for changing anything. Look at Microsoft!
Every three years on EVERY SOFTWARE PRODUCT THEY SELL, they HAVE to produce a
major upgrade, or risk pissing off

The easiest way is to use the replace function to replace the words

A minor annoyance on Mavericks is that Text Edit does indeed close
