The Motive Internet Glossary

natural language

Depending on how your site is hosted, mixing upper and lowercase letters in filename may break your links; stick to all lowercase and no punctuation (aside from hyphens) to be safe.

Natural language is using human-readable labels for file and folder names (based on the content they contain). For example; the files containing information on your organisation may be contained within a folder labeled about-us and named board.html and mission.html.

Adherence to this approach makes web administration and web log analysis a bit easier on the brain.
