Semantic outrage #11

Not all issues are fixed, some are closed! I propose the word "fixes" is replaced with "closed" in the issue template. Yes, I do believe in the strong Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis.

I think ‘fix’ and ‘close’ can be understood as synonymous in terms of GitHub parlance.

But conventional commits expect “fix:” so maybe bringing ‘close’ into the mix is confusing?

I think this illustrates all the words that GitHub considers synonymous. I.e. ‘completed’; ‘done’; ‘closed’; ‘fixed’; ‘resolved’.

I wasn't talking about GitHub's technical perspective, I was talking about it from the perspective of the English language - we call a lot of things "fixed" that are not fixed, usually worked around. Would you be confused by the conventional commits?
