There is inconsistency in the comments module with the way the strings "comment" and "reply" are used. A "comment" is meant to be a row in the comments table with a pid = 0 (it has no "parent", it is a response to the node content). A "reply" refers to a row in the comments table where the pid != 0 (it has a parent, it is a reply to "comment" or another "reply" with the pid = the cid of the parent). In the comment module, the form labels, submit labels and link titles are not consistently applied, adding confusion to the distinction between a "comment" and a "reply". I'm proposing that the "reply" strings be removed and replaced with "comment." The programming that allows for the excellent threading system in the comment module should stay. I just think that it is too confusing to try to describe that threading with one-word terms that seem like synonyms to end users. I have filed an issue in the Drupal issue queue: http://drupal.org/node/189659 I've also brought the issue to to the usability group on g.d.o. http://groups.drupal.org/node/6966 There are positive responses to the idea that we call all comments the same thing.

I'd say about a quarter of what he lists is fairly simple usability tweaks that should be easy to do. (String changes, reorder fields, etc.) Unless we're at string freeze, I don't see why we can't do those.
Strings are not frozen yet. Feel free to submit improval suggestions. I think we accepted most string improvements so far.
