Introduction

Goal: Nail down UI and other WordPress terminology.

Method: I'd be a pain to talk back and forth on wp-docs for this, I think. Instead, add something here that you feel needs a standardized name. Offer some suggestions and vote by adding your 'three-tilde' signature to the appropriate line. Naturally, your opinion may shift with time and when new suggestions get made. Feel free to change your vote.

MDAWaffe - Talk: Uhh... I don't know what else we need to pin down. Please make additions.

Also: See cAse.

This article is never meant to go live. The idea is to figure out what to call things and then call them that in the Glossary and elsewhere in Codex.
