Duplicate Keywords List #2 - Formal Proposal for Permanent Merging and Auto-Conversion
I have done some further mapping of keywords on IMDb and at this time would like to formally propose the following keywords for permanent merging and auto-conversion.
These keywords have all been vetted by the IMDb community (see this thread). That thread also shows the numbers for each keyword. There has been no opposition to merging any of these keywords. (There were questions raised about a couple other keywords that were originally on the list, which I have now removed).
cellphone ---> cellular-telephone ---> cell-phone
clay-animation ---> claymation
colour-in-episode-title ---> color-in-episode-title
death-by-fall ---> death-by-falling ---> death-from-a-fall ---> fall-to-death ---> falling-to-one's-death ---> falling-to-death
eye-witness ---> eyewitness
frameup ---> frame-up
imposter ---> impostor
loss-of-memory ---> memory-loss
make-up ---> makeup
racial-relations ---> race-relations
reflection-in-mirror ---> reflection-in-a-mirror
school-teacher ---> schoolteacher
secret-passage ---> secret-passageway
suicide-thoughts ---> suicidal-thought ---> suicidal-thoughts
switching-bodies ---> switch-bodies ---> body-switching
teen-prostitute ---> teenage-prostitute
Finally, please check out these two duplicate keywords, the second of which contains an obvious typo (the apostrophe at the beginning). These two keywords should be merged as well:
japanese-schoolgirl (514 titles) | |
'japanese-schoolgirl (91 titles) |

Hi keyword_expert -
These Keywords have been merged accordingly and the auto-conversion has been completed. These changes should be live on the site shortly.
Cheers!

Hi keyword_expert -
The additional Keyword updates have now been pushed through and the changes should be live on the site shortly.
My understanding of the terms is that, "swap" or swapping" means an exchange of two comparable things, to exchange or give (something) in an exchange (for something else), whereas switch solely means to exchange. So there is argument for a slight difference.
So "body-switching" could indicate that one identity has exchanged their body for another, whereas "body-swapping" would indicate that each identity is making the exchange with one another.
Cheers!
