Rename "Unordered List" & "Ordered List"

As a user, when I right click in a note and select the formatting submenu, I want to see "bulleted list" instead of "unordered list", and "numbered list" instead of "ordered list". So: 1. right click > Format> "bulleted list" (not "unordered list") 2. right click > Format> "numbered list" (not "ordered list") It's super confusing, for me at least, to have to remember that an "unordered list" is what most other apps call "bulleted list".

I'd argue that "unordered" and "ordered" is better. First, that's the Markdown spec, in large part (iirc) because Markdown started life as a quicker/easier/more human way to write HTML, and those are the list types in HTML. But more importantly, are we sure there will never be an option to style ordered/unordered lists differently? Maybe I want to use something other than a bullet, or to use Roman numerals or some other ordering indicator besides numbers. Especially for unordered lists, there are a lot of use cases like that.

Fair point! Apple Notes calls it "bulleted list": https://share.cleanshot.com/tvCLOQ As does ClickUp: https://share.cleanshot.com/h0amRV Those are the two primary tools I use, so that was my frame of reference.

Thanks for pointing this out! Which apps call it bulleted list? Bear seems to call it „List“ and „ordered List“. This is just a standard term I‘ve used originally.
