Comment (by chriscct7):

 Replying to [comment:8 obenland]:
 > Do we use the word "article" over "post", @helen?

 It's called "article" for consistency with the setting directly above it
 "Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from the article" and the one right
 below it "Allow people to post comments on new articles", and the
 description under that "(These settings may be overridden for individual
 articles.)". The section it is in is even called "Default article
 settings", and there is another setting on the same page called "
 Automatically close comments on articles older than".

 I think there was a deliberate attempt to avoid using the word "post" as
 in "a single post" as "post" is used as a verb twice on that page which
 could make it confusing
