Consider new clause names for THEME, GUIDE, and COORD #19
Description
Activity
Guiding is what guides do and the singular 'guide' fits well. I also think that 'I theme my plot' works but 'I coordinate my plot' does not work well (it feels like you're collaborating with somebody else on a plot, rather than declare a system of coordinates). Maybe 'project', as in 'I project my plot in Cartesian coordinates'?
I'm not convinced GUIDE is a good action verb for what it does. True, it guides the viewer, but what it will read like is
GUIDE x ..., ie. it is guiding x, not the user. I also disagree that theme is a good verb (especially whenSTYLEis right there)I like
PROJECT- I was trapped inMAPbut that would be confusing with our other use ofMAPPINGJust to document one aspect of discussion for posterity: we were discussing about abolishing theme settings altogether in favour of a style sheet.
The
THEME,GUIDEandCOORDclauses are the least verb-y of the CLAUSES and they read rather poorly compared to the rest. The verb version of THEME is STYLE imo, but my imagination is failing me on the remaining two so input is welcome here
