Yes I agree that "scripting language" is a lot more closer to where  
people would expect to find Ruby, Shell, Applescript etc. For a lot  
of people, "writing a script" is the first thing that comes to mind  
for all three of these. Sure, we could build huge wonderful worlds in  
all three of them, perhaps easier in some than in others, but then  
again we could write scripts in C as well.

By "script" I guess I mean something like "short useful program that  
automates tasks for me".
