 * I just gotta ask, what does “Att.” in Att. Categories stand for?
 * If it was explained on the plugin page, shame on me. But if it’s just a thrown
   around acronym, why not just use the entire word to begin with? I’m on the Add
   New Att. Category page and it seems silly to dumb down one word when there’s 
   still several hundred pixels worth of space.
 * Other than that, thanks for a great plugin!

 * Thanks for your question, which touches on a very early part of the plugin.
 * The “Att.” is short for “Attachment”, referring to the traditional naming of 
   Media Library items. I first tried the full word, but there were several places
   where it just didn’t fit. I thought about “Media”, but other plugins already 
   used that word and it caused confusion.
 * You can always “translate” it by creating your own language file, but that seems
   like a lot of work.
 * I am marking this topic “Not a support question”. Please let me know if there’s
   anything I can do to help you with MLA. Thanks for your kind words and for your
   interest in the plugin.
