Yeah, you are right. &quot;Pull request&quot; in itself could be parsed as a command, but it is a thing really. Used in a command you would say &quot;Send pull request&quot;. Where send is the verb and &quot;pull request&quot; is the object. In my native language it would actually be a single word. I have seen some people write it as pull-request, which removes the ambiguity.<p>Note that &quot;Merge request&quot; doesn&#x27;t solve this problem.<p>From a user-interface design perspective I would say it would be bad to have a button or link that solely says &quot;pull request&quot; or &quot;merge request&quot;. It should probably be preceded by a verb such as view, send or process.<p>Also, pulling a pull request or merging a merge request is just weird and doesn&#x27;t make sense.
