The tag alias #56289 under_sheets -> under_covers has been approved.

Reason: Minor semantics choice

EDIT: The tag alias under_sheets -> under_covers (forum #325775) has been approved by @furrypickle.

Other way round feels better semantically but worse out loud. Im unsure on this one but do agree the alias should happen just... not that way.

under covers already has an alias and implication tied to it, and personally it sounds better to me.

Sometimes, those covers might be blankets or afghans instead of sheets.

In most posts it'll be impossible to reasonably distinguish between all the potential subcategories, especially for the average layperson.

also why are you covering yourself with people from afghanistan

Strange. I would have thought people would think of the dogs first, although I obviously speak of the yarny blankets.

I actually don't know if I agree with the bed implication.

It's possible to be covered with a sheet or a blanket without being in bed, like lying on a couch, on a sleeping mat, or on the floor.

Plus, in some posts, it's actually not possible to tell if there's a bed there at all.

I agree, I remember running into this issue way back when I was uploading this comic:

Fair point. I'd be on board for removing that implication, then

The bulk update request #2337 is active.

remove implication under_covers (3356) -> on_bed (78560)

Reason: Well, nobody's actually made the BUR yet, so I might as well. Unless we're content to define futons and sleeping_bags as beds, or indeed just a blanket on the floor?
