Is "Set" the right term?

[stevejburge]

We normally use "Assign" for similar actions, for example with taxonomies

We also use "Assign" in the tooltip

@stevejburge Assign is there in the tooltip as a synonym for further clarification. Changing the caption to Assign would be reasonable. Here's why I would still prefer Set:

• Assign is much more awkward as a Post Editor button label: "Set to Proposed" vs. "Assign Proposed"
• Set seems to suggest a more fundamental property, which Post Status is. We can Assign any number of categories or authors, but Set a post type, post date or post status.
• For Permissions Pro / Capabilities Pro, we already have support fixed syntax capability names "set_posts_approved", "set_pages_assigned" etc.

@agapetry Thanks. I've added some of these to a future release (1.3) so we can see how users react to these, and possibly come back to this later
