Task is singular, one task. Tasks is plural, many tasks Same with results, one result, many results From what I remember from school all are use correctly in you examples, so I am not sure what you are saying. Also you statement "Here's what it look like" Should be "Here's what it looks like" That's they way English is. Bernie |

There has recently been discussion on the developers mailing list about inconsistencies in the terminology being used both on the websites, Wiki and Boinc Manger. Hopefully these will eventually be cleaned up and standardized. |

I changed "result" to "task" on the SAH server status page. May take 24 hours to appear. Let me know of other instances of "result". -- David |

I changed "result" to "task" on the SAH server status page. It didn't update the one pictured below (Data Distribution State). It only change the description at the bottom of the SAH server status page. |
