I'll just restate what I said to Robin, some categories being renamed simply to remove "words common people don't understand" is patronizing and also a bit pathetic really, society is dumbing down because people in general are being spoon-fed everything and not encouraged to learn new things.

Why change gaoler to "jailer" just because you assume younger folk won't understand what it means? it just means they will have to actually *think* on what they add rather than mindlessly clicking a button.. by adding a few technical words in categories we challenge users to expand their minds and also be more careful on what they add.

This is not the case, however, for TV Tropes jargon, which should be removed from the wiki as it causes spam, confusion and unproductive users - the wiki states clearly "we are not TV Tropes" - then stop using their terminology.. use the old "Most Evil" or something for Complete Monsters.. get rid of the useless KoC and if users complain remind them once again "we are not TV Tropes".
