<p dir="auto">What is the point of splitting "preferences" and "settings"?</p>
<p dir="auto">At least for me this split is completely and utterly unclear and I had no idea where given setting is likely to be present (I just run into this problem).</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">remaining settings are still a bit of a grab-bag between 'account' settings like email / password, and things that are more like 'preferences' such as language and preferred editor</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Both of them are in the same bag. I expect that for vast majority of people there is no consistent difference between "preferences" and "settings" and for many languages there is no reliable way to translate that differently.</p>
<p dir="auto">I am willing to bet actual money that there is lack of any clear difference between "settings" and "preferences" that would be shared by 50% of random people.</p>
<p dir="auto">If that would be considered as useful I can ask some nonrandom sample of people in some OSM communication channel or some other place.</p>
