  1. Great blog Chris. What are your thoughts on log in versus sign in?

  2. Well if you’re Lynne Truss, the world is wrong, obviously. However, from a user experience perspective, convention is your friend and so I’d have to go with the grammatically incorrect, but oh-so recognisable, ‘Login’ rather than ‘Log in’.

    That’s a whole other kettle of fish, Lucy. And possibly fodder for another post. Convention seems to be leaning towards “Sign in” replacing both “user id” and “log in”…however this is all anecdotal.

    Thanks for the praise.

  4. As previously posted, Foviance recommends to use ‘log in’ as opposed to ‘login’. We then had a follow up question on whether we should use ‘sign in’ or ‘log in’. My recommendation is ‘log in’ and the Google trends seem to back me up in terms of most popular use:
