Just noticed the bookmark icon hasn't changed along with the name.

| Oct 13, 2022 at 16:32 | comment | added | terdon | @Michael out of curiosity, were you already familiar with the use of save as a countable noun such as "video game saves"? Maybe it is less jarring to people who were already familiar with it. I know I found it very jarring (enough to post an entire answer!) despite being a techie and a native English speaker. So maybe it seems fine to you because you're already used to the term? Note: not trying to change your mind here, just curious. | |

I deleted my comment because I realized after writing it that I was just trying to talk you out of your opinion which I just said you were entitled to :) I obviously disagree with you but in the grand scheme of things, I don't really care enough to pick a fight over it. | |
| Oct 7, 2022 at 16:19 | comment | added | Michael come lately | @DavidG Anyone's entitled to opinions that differ from mine. I think it's fine to hold those opinions on behalf of oneself or on behalf of other people. Sometimes I make assertions on behalf of others, but here only for myself. What's a little disconcerting is that this is the second @-comment (the first apparently deleted) suggesting that my lack of preference is rooted in disregard for other groups. I'm trying to assume best intentions, but maybe I need to assume harder. | |
| Oct 7, 2022 at 15:26 | comment | added | DavidG | @Michael Do you not care for yourself or for everyone? How about other groups of people, such as non-native English speakers for example? | |

incorporated a suggestion from the comments

| Oct 6, 2022 at 15:33 | comment | added | ColleenV | @Pluto I like the idea of referring to it as a notebook or some similar thing. It would pave the way for future enhancements. For example, organizing drafts of questions or answers you're writing, keeping citation links you use a lot for certain topics, etc. Saves doesn't really inspire people to think of what it could evolve into, and any further evolution is probably going to require yet more renaming churn. | |
| Oct 6, 2022 at 13:48 | comment | added | Pluto | Something like "Saved Content" would be better grammatically but is obviously less succinct. Saves is just pretty jarring to me. I'd even prefer something like... save to your "binder," "diary," or "notebook" since there's additional features coming to supplement this, such as notes and new ways to organize your saved content. | |
| Oct 5, 2022 at 17:07 | comment | added | Michael come lately | Great question. If it were changed to "bulldozers" or "colorless green ideas," I'd maybe object. But between "Bookmarks" and "Saves," it just doesn't rise to the level that it bothers me. And I'm a little surprised to see two of the top three answers specifically decrying the name change. | |
| Oct 5, 2022 at 17:00 | comment | added | ColleenV | @Michael Do you care if it stays Bookmarks or becomes something other than Saves? You're entitled to not care... just seeking clarification on whether you particularly like Saves or just don't care what the feature is named. | |
| Oct 5, 2022 at 16:06 | comment | added | Michael come lately | I went trawling for a comment or post to upvote, but I didn't find one. So here: I do not care about the change in nomenclature. | |

Fixed an awkward sentence to be clearer
