+ <title>back up</title>
+ <title>backup</title>
+ <p>Copy files to another location as a precaution in case of loss of the original files.
+ Spell with two words as a verb, one word as a noun or adjective. Do not split âbackâ and
+ âupâ when used as a verb.</p>

+ <gloss:term id="cursor" rev:date="2011-09-27" rev:status="proposed">
+ <title>cursor</title>
+ <p>A symbol indicating where text will be inserted or deleted when the user types.
+ The term âtext cursorâ is redundant, but sometimes useful. Do not use âcaretâ unless
+ you need to refer to the use of that term in some piece of software. The cursor is
+ the visual representation that indicates the insertion point. Do not use âinsertion
+ pointâ unless you need to be very pedantic.</p>
+ <p>Do not use âcursorâ as a synonym for âpointerâ.</p>
+ </gloss:term>
+ <gloss:term id="pointer" rev:date="2011-09-27" rev:status="proposed">
+ <title>pointer</title>
+ <p>The arrow or other symbol that moves when the user moves the pointing device and
+ indicates where on the screen clicks will go. Use âpointerâ even when it takes on a
+ shape other than an arrow, although you may use a descriptive adjective, such as
+ âhand pointerâ, âI-beam pointerâ, or âresize pointerâ.</p>
+ </gloss:term>
+ <gloss:term id="screenshot" rev:date="2011-09-27" rev:status="proposed">
+ <title>screenshot</title>
+ <p>An image showing the display of the screen or an area of the screen. Spell as one word;
+ do not use âscreen shotâ or âscreen-shotâ. Do not use âscreen grabâ, âscreen captureâ, or
+ any other term. Do not use âscreenshotâ as a verb. Write âtake a screenshotâ instead. Do
+ not use âscreenshootâ or any variant.</p>
+ </gloss:term>
+ <gloss:term id="top-bar" rev:date="2011-09-27" rev:status="proposed">
+ <title>top bar</title>
+ <p>The bar at the top of the screen containing <gui>Activities</gui>, the clock, and
+ the system status area. Do not use âtop panelâ. Menus are âon the top barâ, not
+ âin the top barâ.</p>
+ </gloss:term>
+ <gloss:term id="windows-key" rev:date="2011-09-27" rev:status="proposed">
+ <title>windows key</title>
+ <p>The key that has a Windows logo on most PC keyboards. This key is mapped to Super, and
+ activates the overview. Prefer this term over âlogo keyâ or âsuper keyâ, as it's more likely
+ to be recognized by users. Do not capitalize âwindowsâ. Do not use mark up the key name.</p>
