There is an issue regarding variable namings in the tutorials and pedagogy

[E-SEAsianEthnicityOSSI]

Imagining you are a new programmer, the ruby tutorial on the website does not do as clear as could be in regards to calling the name input for the method called "name" when this may be unclear to new programmers who may be unclear about notion "method name". this lack of clarity can be solved by calling the input variable "text" which becomes clearer than the tutorial is as now.

For instance:

irb(main):019:0> def hi(name = "World")
irb(main):020:1> puts "Hello #{name.capitalize}!"
irb(main):021:1> end

hi is the "method name". While experience programmers know this it is the method name and "name" refers to the variable someone may not know this"

Let me know if you'd like this edit translated into the other languages and I can do this too. I can also go back and change it to "textVar" or "inputTxt".

I am also willing to rewrite tutorial to include this kind of basic programming info or create a tutorial thats more aimed at new programmers. It'd be better if I got info from the more active devs on this project if this is even going to be accepted as a commit so I can know if this is even worthwhile edit.

I disagree this direction of change. While I agree some readers may confuse with method name, but in general input is not a good variable name.

It's still straightforward as we're saying 'Just redefine hi to take a name as a parameter.'
