I just asked two people (my fiancee and my 18 year old sister to be specific) and both told me that a URL is a 'web address'. They didn't knew what a 'path alias' is, and could not place it either. Maybe it's a language thing, but in Belgium the acronym URL is understood by many people and almost as common as 'e-mail' or 'chat'.
Exactly right: a web address. Is "about" a web address? Cos that's what we're asking people to type in, not "http://drupal.org/about".
Incidentally, I'm *not* suggesting that "path alias" is better. Merely that "custom URL" is not it. As I've suggested in the original issue, "URL path" is a combination of both worlds, is accurate semantically, and more importantly, accurate operationally: what the user types in is exactly what the box is asking for (not a "custom URL", but a "URL path", which "about" would be considered). -- Morbus Iff ( is this a cut out bath-poster Morbus, or what? ) Technical: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779 Culture: http://www.disobey.com/ and http://www.gamegrene.com/ icq: 2927491 / aim: akaMorbus / yahoo: morbus_iff / jabber.org: morbus
