Use of the word books #150

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
There is a menu item Window/Books
As the word books is already used in
- other books (for ordianry books) and
- Bible books (books of the Bible: Genesis - Revelation)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-> use another word for it, e.g. resources or modules (as for Sword resources)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
BPBible 0.4.5.1 in WinXP

If the problem happens with one particular module (Bible, commentary,
dictionary, or book), what module is it?

Please provide any additional information below.

I'm not sure that I agree.  I'll admit there could be confusion between a 
"book" and a 
book of the Bible (though I'm not sure about other books, since that is 
recognising 
that each "other book" is just a type of book).  However, I'm sure that we have 
anything much better.  I don't think the word module should be used at all, and 
have 
never liked it as I don't think it has any real world meaning (and so I'm 
curious to 
see the word "module" in the standard issue template - must fix that).  
Equally, I 
don't think resource really describes what a thing is, whereas to me book makes 
sense 
and has a real world analogue.  I could be wrong, though.

You are right, book is the easierst word to understand especially for 
non-English
native speakers like me.

So the word 'book' is used in a threefold sense in the program

- book for all, what can be loaded into the program, even if it is an article 
or ...

- other book, loaded and not a Bible or commentary or dictionary or ...

- Bible book, one of the books of Bible (Genesis - Revelation)

As long as it is clear to the user, which kind of book is in focus, this is OK.
