Kases?
In the new 37 Signals application Highrise, (37 signals are the fine people who brought you Basecamp), they have a section for Cases, i.e. like a project or series of tasks - as in "I'm on the case, cheif!".
The url for this is /kases. I did a quick search and found out why the url is /kases. It turns out to be a work around for a language key-word colision in Ruby, which gets exposed in Rails.
Not to be smug (ok, a little...), but I am suddenly quite thankful for the "do it by hand" nature of my current software set-up - build on fusebox for PHP. I feel like posting several new pages on podo, like: /if, /case, /switch, /foreach, etc.
