But my mother doesn't know an "environment" is. I mean, she
doens't know any meaning other than the "global climate change /
pollution / general culture" meaning. I know that she knows what
"editing" is. Granted, she's written and edited her masters and
PhD theses, so maybe she's not totally typical in this respect.
I still think that "editing" is easier to understand than
"environment". Both for semi-literate computer users, and also
people without a good grasp of English.
