--- Comment #1 from Albert Astals Cid <aacid at kde.org> ---
Digital signature is a very clearly defined term
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature 

I don't feel it's our responsibility to tech people what clearly defined things
mean. Should we teach them what "File" means? What "Save" means? Where do you
draw the line?

I mean the documentation says says "Adding Digital Signatures" and "To be able
to sign a document you need to have a proper PKCS signing certificate available
on your system. " what is more clear than we're speaking about a
"cryptographic" signature than that.

If you don't know what PKCS means either, then wikipedia it again "In
cryptography, PKCS stands for 'Public Key Cryptography Standards'"
