[–] allenbrunson 17y ago ↗ This is a pet peeve of mine as well. Similarly, "backup" is a noun, "back up" is a verb, but they're often abused. [–] cperciva 17y ago ↗ I prefer to s/backup/archive/, since the word "archive" has the advantage of being both a noun and a verb. [–] 0x44 17y ago ↗ Do you also hyphenate email?

[–] seasoup 17y ago ↗ They all work. Different places use different terms. Just don't mix/match... ie no Sign In / Logout. Sign In/Sign out is slightly less "computery" but everyone knows what all the variations do. Use the one you like best.
[–] MaysonL 17y ago ↗ Why not? English has been nouning verbs and verbing nouns for centuries. Grammar Nazis, logout! :-)
