[drupal-docs] Making a case for usable words

[Kieran Lal]

Hello sprinters and usability mentors,
              I made the mistake of trying to change one of the most  
cherished words used in our open source community.   Not surprisingly  
my effort went down in flames.   As usability professionals I am  
hoping you will enlighten me on how to consider the usability of  
certain words.

The user interviews and card sorting techniques you have taught me  
have been successfully welcomed.   Is there an effective way to  
evaluate the usability of terms and language?  Clearly, some terms  
are specific and need to stay for cultural and historic reasons.    
Any advice on how to find the right balance would be appreciated.

I'll summarize your responses and report them back to the Drupal  
documentation community.

Cheers,
Kieran
