[Sigia-l] wording / icon convention suggestions ?

[Hilary Marsh]

Cynthia,

I don't think there are many wording conventions out there -- I've 
seen "play it again," "start over," "replay" and others that I can't 
think of now. I've also seen icons that look like stereo equipment -- 
arrows, stop and pause buttons.

IMO, whatever you use is okay, as long as they're clear to your audience.

Suggestion/request: since this list is the most central gathering of 
the IA/content/UX community, if you do any research into various 
sites and what they're using, why not compile the results and post 
them to the list?
