Subject: cleaner way?

I'll first admit this is a lot cleaner and more succinct than my first
pass of it... but well
Is there a way to make this case and send block clearer and cleaner?

Thanks,
         Kyle

 def getProperties(type=:textField)

    logWarning("Please use a symbol, not a string for :#{type.to_s}")

    converter = case type.to_sym
      when :textField,:text_field then "clone"
      when :text,:t,:value then "value"
      when :html then "html"
      else logError("I'm not familiar with :#{type.to_s}, please try
another type.")
