Summary: Edit/Change/Update/Modify (CHI-WEB) -- "A colleague and I were discussing the use of the word "edit" on the web. I'm partial to "edit" while she prefers "change". We have other colleagues who always use "update" or "modify". We're trying to adopt a common set of terminology/labels to use across the many sites we work on. Is there a standard that we should be following?"

 

  

Reader Comments...
 

transmogrify. CHI-WEBbers are obviously not well read.

LOL - No one even considers testing which works best!

Ron, I was thinking the same thing. Summary of opinions versus summary of data. Not bad opinions, but still opinions...not data.
