Question

I have the following ngSwitch:

    
       Wrong

You can add a filter to the status that maps values that mean the same thing into the same value.

.filter('meaning', function() {
    return function(input) {
      input = input || '';
      if (['wrong', 'amiss','awry', 'bad', 'erroneous', 'false', 'inaccurate',\
           'misguided', 'mistaken', 'unsound', 'incorrect'].indexOf(input) != -1)
          return 'wrong';
      // You can make it generic like this:
      synonymsDictionary = {
        'someWord' : ['syn1', 'syn2', 'syn3' ... ],
        'someOtherWord' : ['otherWordSyn1', 'otherWordSyn2', 'otherWordSyn3' ...]
        .
        .
        .
      };

      for (var word in synonymsDictionary)
          if (synonymsDictionary[word].indexOf(input) != -1)
              return word; // This way you could iterate over a bunch of arrays...

         // Edge case
         else return input;
    };
  })

Then you simply

    
       Wrong
    
    
       Correct
    

Although in your case, you may have just wanted to print a message so you could have pulled the message from a dictionary...

Something like:

    {{getStatusMessage(status)}}
