It's funny, but I knew Jim would be able to run with this and cover nearly the same exact points as I would.
IMO, this is one of the situations where the rules of grammar are secondary or at least bendable. If it has to be an icon and label, and it has to mention the CMS as what is being logged out of, I would simply have "CMS Logout". The best strictly grammatical phrasing, as Jim has said, is "Log out of the CMS" but that's so unweildy. I'm comfortable with an ambiguous fragment where Logout is effectively both noun and verb. If you are designing this and have this control, I would recommend just using the word "logout" either as a button or hypertext link. If there are two contexts that it could apply to (account and cms) then I would provide the context through other means like grouping, color, etc. "Logout" in a cluster of CMS controls is understandable if the interface designer has done a good job of differentiating those controls. -Kevin On 5/4/05, Dana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes! and actually what I am looking at does not, to its credit, say > "click here."
