#200 closed defect (FIXED)

login vs. log in -- lots of incorrect usage

Reported by: Will Kahn-Greene Owned by: Jef van Schendel
Priority: major Milestone: 0.0.5

Description

"login" is the place where you log in--it's a noun or adjective.

"log in" is the act of logging in--it's a verb.

For example, a user would log in at the login screen.

We've got a lot of incorrect usages of these in the strings. This
bug is to go through the strings and fix the ones that are wrong.

Putting this in the 0.0.5 milestone and upping the priority since
this affects translations.

On some sites, I have seen "Sign in" instead of "Log in". I wonder,
if this wording is better in some way?

Fixed and pushed. I think I got all of 'em.

I'd be fine with "Sign in" too, re-open the ticket if you'd like me
to change it.
