[wp-hackers] changing the built in categories label on the add post screen

Sat Nov 19 02:29:32 UTC 2011

If you wann do it in a elegant way I would register a brand new tax,
unregister the category and update the the database (a 5 minutes job)
but If you dont mind about elegance a filter on a gettext or maybe
another hook resolve it quickly

But its friday night
