to work.
As I am not working as an author anymore, I am not interested in any further

Gary, I disagree with some of your recommendations in this file, 
especially in the GUI terminology section. I don't have time to 
write in detail on this at the moment, but I will do so later.


--Jean
My take on GUI terms would be to follow the exact spelling and 
capitalization of them as expressed in either the tooltips or the 
menuitems in the UI. Therefore, these terms would be uniform in the 
various chapters and guides among all writers, reviewers, or editors.


In the past we have used multiple versions of some of them. It's no 
big issue, but keeping them uniform throughout all our documentation 
seems the way to go. It would be very simple to find out how they are 
expressed--just refer to the UI (assuming that they are uniform among 
the various platforms). Any comments?


Not worth arguing about. Although I dislike the resulting 
capitalization in many cases, your reason (uniformity) are good, so 
I'll let it go.


--Jean
Doing so is essentially continuing the capitalization distinction 
between common and proper nouns in English, as determined by the GUI 
developers in this case. As I mentioned before, if your (or another's) 
personal preference is to not have all those proper nouns, then 
petition the developers to modify them (not capitalize or whatever) via 
an issue.
