I started writing a rebuttal to each point JV raised but I ended up
dumping it since I can see we're never going to agree.
To be honest, from my side I don't really care. My answer was only
following logic and English word semantics (that's why I referred to
that blog article - In that case it was an article, which is btw way
more "Human" than "post") but we can't agree for several reasons,
one
of them being that the majority of us are not native English speaking
and thus our perceptions of the words are skewed from the onset. The
other being that some of us favor word meanings while others favor
word perceptions.
I'll leave it to you guys to decide but please don't make this process
too long, it's not worth it.
Thanks

So, let's compare "Create blog entry" and "Write a new blog
post".
Your proposal make me see a "Create blog entry" button in some menu,
then a "Create" button in the creation form.
I'd prefer to see a "Write a new blog post" button and then a
"Publish" button, this seems more "humane" to me.
Thinking about the action the user is doing I
prefer "Write a new
blog
post" to "Post a new entry". Posting a new entry sounds too
techie to
me.
I'd even prefer "Create" rather than "Write" ;)
"Create blog entry" sounds clearer to me than "Create blog post". A
blog post is the entry when it's been posted. You can't create a blog
post since it's not yet been posted :)
And if you create a blog entry it still have to be written :)
Our framework must be generic but I don't see why our terminologies
should. I like when a software terminology refers to more IRL
stuff, I
prefer "people" to "users", I prefer to have a dock than a taskbar,
and when it comes to write something (note/blog post/message) I like
to see the word "Write" not "Create" :)
