Yes, we need to decide if we use "X" or "X Applications".
My right brain (emotional) is for "X Applications", that speaks more clearly.
But my left brain (rational) is for "X" because repetition is clumsy, 
especially when we list all the categories on the same line, and I think that 
tagging should be done only by a handful of editors who understand the whole 
system.
So I balance... What do you other guys think ?
