Hello again,
I will (if it is OK with the mass consensus, don't want to upset the
group!) rename all wastebasket, deleted items etc to "Rubbish Bin"
tomorrow (I guess it is tomorrow (I need sleep!)) or Monday on the
Nautilus package even if its just a "it will do for now" fix?
Michael

This bug devolved into bikeshedding long ago. Consistency is the most

I'll see if I can get this done for GNOME 2.32, but I don't promise

About the ".bin" confusion:
No normal user should ever come upon a .bin file (or file extensions at all but
that’s a different story). Everyone that works with .bin files knows the
difference. So, where is the confusion?

Trash is American usage. What gmail uses is dependant on your English
setting and here we are talking about GB.
I am in support of Mr Borchardt who said that " bin" is too long.
Just bin would be fine if you don't mind the .bin extension.

I think most native speakers are happy with either "Bin" or "Rubbish

files "rubbish") but "Rubbish Bin" is fine if we are going with the

Google Mail calls it "Bin", short and simple. If that wouldn’t suit most

Personally, rubbish bin seems a little raw. But I suppose I could see

Please forgive my bluntness, I think a survey would be an unnecessary
act. It's a simple fact that in the UK, people will refer to it as the
"bin", "dustbin", "rubbish bin" or for something to be recycled "recycle
bin" or "[put it in the] recycling" which is less common.
In reply to Matthew Paul T
Hi Popey,
Would you mind organising a survey? It would probably be best to ask a
simple, non-leading question, e.g. "What [do|would] you call the place
where files go when you delete them?" Non-technical users would be more
valuable participants because they're the ones most likely to be
affected
Ryan,
Thanks for the clarification. I have launchpad set up, and I think
everything is good to go. How can I help with this bug?

I think the general consensus among native British English speakers in
this report is that "bin" or "rubbish bin" are suitable terms. e.g.
"Move to the rubbish bin", "Empty the rubbish bin" etc.
