Snapping menu: two simple words to make it less confusing for newcomers
I think, now it is a bit illogical. Or too logical for regular human and ok 4 c0|)6r.
Snap? Snap to or snap with? It confusing many newbies, especially if english is not their native language.
Target? Totally wrong! In common target it is something, that I am aiming at and shooting at, not the «target of the snapping operator, that takes this taget and snap to target of snapping blahblah morelogicalsmartboringwords…»
That is why I suggest this tiny change, that can be done for a minute.

I created a differential of the requested change. developer.blender.org/D5242
* @Eitan * Thanks
I will create a diff for it tomorrow
Isn't it just a paper cut?
even "snap target" would work for the first one. I saw this target elsewhere in a modifier and it was the exact opposite of what it should mean. If I see it again I come here.
Right. And as a non-native english speaker I'd say the current terms sound wrong and should be swapped!
* @ Lsscpp * Even with expirience, but after pause about half of year «Target» confused me…
Someone should compile a list of all of these snapping proposals, since the Blender Foundation just added a developer to work on snapping and precision modelling tools.
* @Josephbburg * Done already . So if you want to help, you can add links there, if they missed in that topic.
* @ Vyacheslav * I hope devs are coming there to see topics...and same about addons... and other softwares...all I can say there is job to do...and if it is done well, it will be a great evolution. I noticed the guy did an addon but it was not so good that destructive extrude, I hope this is not relevant. snap should be easier to do, Blender already knows how to find center face middle and the cursor tool has already evolved. but too many solicitations make a brain burst
* @zgorg2004 * they do. They check such topics for good ideas, thoughts and parts of code.
I hope, somebody from community, who knows, where it is in the code and how to commit fix, will come and fix it… Really easy if you are familiar with blender structure
