I've just spotted the "parent" button. It's useful for navigation, but I'm not sure "parent" is the right word. We seem to have plenty of words for what the post is, but few for the ones it's responding to. Respondee?

I think this is an issue of programmer-speak not translating well. If you have a better suggestion, you can find the relevant messages using Special:Allmessages ("parent" is used in a couple more places).

I think it's doubly lost in translation because I was assuming it was jargon and was assuming it was being used as a verb; i.e., "click here to parent this comment to another"... d'oh.
