Current membership vs Current status (Yes - again!)

I am sure this has been discussed many many times, but people are confused by the membership status of Current and the "Current membership" designation.

Has anyone ever suggested renaming the  current membership tick box to membership continuity and the Member column on the membership status summary page to membership continuity .  This seems to be what it is all about.

Doesn't make sense to me.   If you think people are confused now, just add the word "continuity" and see what happens, they'll have a head explosion.

The word "active" is a better word for "current" IMHO.
Try CiviTeacher: the online video tutorial CiviCRM learning library.

You're right,  'continuity' is too technical.

I don't think 'active' is quite right though,  what about 'ongoing' ?
