The bug
The game inconsistently refers to name tags and name plates.
Teams have a nametagVisibility property (note the word "name tag"). However, there is a nameplate_distance attribute (note the word "name plate"). This is an inconsistency; we should pick a naming convention and stick with it.
Steps to reproduce
Paste the following commands into a command input box (for example, a command block or the chat window):
team modify 0 nametagVisibilityattribute @s minecraft:nameplate_distanceObserve how the terms "name tag" and "name plate" are used.
Observed behavior
The game will inconsistently refer to the same concept.
Expected behavior
The game would consistently refer to it.
