Throughout documentation and source code, the `Thread.interrupted` flag is referred to as either "interrupt**ed** status" or "interrupt status". It might be good to be consistent.

Historically, it seems to have initially been "interrupted status". This is how the flag is called in `java.lang.Thread` and the "Java Concurrency in Practice" book. ("The Java Programming Language" calls it "interrupted **state**".) However, over the years "interrupt status" appeared in documentation and source code through networking and NIO classes.
