Recommendation on terminology for the Frame components, in Design Guide (English):

Change descriptive label from "Objects" to "Things" (on the left side of the Frame).

Rationale: [1.] "Thing" (*) is the more common and vernacular term, typically learned earlier in one's vocabulary, and it is the shorter word with fewer syllables than "Object"; [2.] "Object" is the more generalized term (thereby more ambiguous) which (in older kids' OO terminology) subsumes the instances of Party/Person, Place, and Thing.

(*) /Thing/ Synonym: "Thang" (fr. North Carolina rural dialect)  ;-)
