Correct wording concerning mirror plane

This is a question to native English speakers.

What is the correct wording when talking about mirroring: is an object
- mirrored along a mirror plane
- mirrored across a plane
- mirrored with respect to a plane
- something else??

Any help would be appreciated!

Oh, I thought that's what you wanted, make the whole thing grey.

Any thoughts on this?

Your use case seems to be none of them. You may be better off with addon Parametric Curve FP.
