I guess I am impatient, and I don’t want to read everything, and therefore I demand of people that effect my life choose good names for stuff. The current complaint is about MySQL’s privilege system. Apparently USAGE privilege is a synonym for “no privileges.â€?

Any reason, why this can’t simply be NONE, or “TOO FEW PRIVILEGES TO BOTHER MENTIOING” or anything besides a word that makes it look like something?

Yes I get the low level irony of me claiming to be impatient and taking the time to write this rant. But if you think about it, I have now seared this into my memory with this 5 minute interlude.
