Redirecting this to internals@ as I want to comment but don't think the pub= lic bugs forum is appropriate. As an English-native English speaker, I've long been dissatisfied with the = "Bogus" status. To me, "bogus" means false, fake, fraudulent, made-up with= intent to deceive; I've come to understand that it is not so strongly nega= tive in American English, but nonetheless it still jars every time I see it. As an international project, should PHP not strongly consider changing some= thing that has such bad connotations for a significant part of the English-= speaking community? Even if you (we) avoid offending only a handful of peo= ple, is that not a worthwhile payback? Not sure what you'd use as a replacement -- "Not PHP Bug" sounds good, but = doesn't really work for submissions currently bogussed for being duplicates. Thoughts? Cheers!
