I think "grounded" is a pretty bad name. For non English speaking users its
meaning is not immediately clear. I'd bet that a lot of people would not
even know what grounded means.

As for "personal", it is ok I guess but, like "private" it starts with a
"p". I thought that "private" was the preferred name for that phase but
that it was rejected because it a first letter clashes with the first
letter in "public"?
