 * Kinda nitpicking, but isn’t writing ‘att.’ multiple times in various places redundant?
   
   It takes up unnessecary space, and really isn’t necessary – we’ve already installed
   your plugin FOR attachments/media, no need to be reminded.

 * Thanks for your comments.
 * As far as I know, the only use of the “Att.” prefix is for the two custom taxonomies
   MLA provides; Attachment Categories and Attachment Tags.
 * MLA also allows users to add attachment support for other taxonomies, such as
   the WordPress Categories and Tags, or WooCommerce Product Categories. When they
   are active, the shorter “Categories” and “Tags” labels appear multiple times 
   in various places.
 * I found having multiple “Categories” labels with no way to distinguish among 
   them confusing. Adding “Attachment” to the MLA labels was too long, so I settled
   on the “Att.” abbreviation.
 * Of course, you can always use MLA’s support for custom language files to change
   the labels to anything you’d prefer.
 * I hope that gives you a good sense of the rationale behind my terminology choices.
   I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have any other 
   thoughts on the subject. Thank you for your interest in the plugin.
