Status or state after all?



Which of them do you use and when?

This is what I've decided for myself:
"State" - is a set of attributes that define object's behavior and have a state machine of transitions. 
"Status" - is an attribute that holds a single character value.

Other options, suggested by my colleagues:
  • use unthinkingly;
  • use only one of them. always;
That's it, good luck!
