Part of a tester’s workload is the proofreading of text, more or less. So, here are three pairs of terms that every web and application content writer must know when to use and when not to.
Signup vs sign up
Setup vs set up
Login vs log in
There are others, but in my experience these are the most commonly abused. So frequently, in fact, that I do a double-take when I see the correct term used! You will notice the left term is the noun, the right the verb. Wait, you knew that? I thought you might. Well, stop getting it wrong then.
Worked example:
When you sign up for an account you go through the signup process. This sets up your account when the setup routine has finished. You can then log in to your account with your login details.
Simple!
