Change Square Samples Name
Cycles "Square Samples" option is confusingly titled. It would be an idea to rename it "Squared Samples" or the more grammatically correct, "Samples Squared".

I would rather get rid of this feature completely. It's using prime space for basically just multiplying the amount of samples, claiming it's for "easier artist control".
@Pablo Vazquez: Total agree ! one button that seem like another feature to learn… that just isn’t one, exept more confusing ! (plus, artist are'nt dumb, they needs precision in samples like anyone else)
mid last year Bretch removed it from trunk but due some user resquesting it it was added again, for some reason there is people that use it as default. its easy to solve if math its needed just type pow(X,Y) and X will be raised to Y , , powered?? i don`t know how is the word in english, "x es elevado a la y" if someone can translate that with some sense would be nice
@L. Nahuel Belich: X^Y
@: thanks
I think it is correct. Checking that you are saying: "Blender! Please, * square samples *"
@: Maybe, but it can be more mistaken for a different sampling method, which I thought it was for a while.
In any case I think it would make more sense to use powers of 2 rather than the squared value.
