What should we do about [zero-gravity]?

Question

I'm wondering what we should do with zero-gravity - as we all know, zero gravity does not exist - the correct term is microgravity, which we already have a tag for. Furthermore, all the zero-gravity questions could be retagged microgravity, with no adverse side affects.

What should we do about this 'misleading' tag?

i think its because non technicals get confused and view microgravity as being within the range of an object but gravity is weak, so then use no gravity for reasons where they are in deep space with no bodies but their own ship for light years either way — RhysW, Aug 7 '13 at 14:41

$\begingroup$ @Undo - think it should be the other way round if you consider microgravity to be more correct. $\endgroup$ – Deer Hunter Aug 7 '13 at 16:07
