In some contexts, yes. But other times, other words would explain it better. I think that existing stuff probably need not changed, but in cases where a different word is more clearly describing it, I should think that the different word will do, especially in documentation. There are other reasons why the words used for commands should remain traditional (and American; even though I am Canadian and write the documentation in Canadian, I will use the American terms for the names of commands, etc; just as though, if I am writing music I will use neither Canadian nor American, but Italian), though. (Words also have multiple meanings, anyways.)

I agree (with both parts).
