[IxDA Discuss] Meaningful labels

[Robert Hoekman, Jr.]

Somehow, before I started with my current employer, a decision was made
(arbitrarily) to use "OK/Cancel" buttons for everything they applied to,
regardless of whether or not something else, like "Apply" or "Save", would
offer more meaning.

This morning I was asked to present my case for why to avoid using the same
button labels in every case, and instead use something more meaningful when
it makes sense to do so. So, I have some ideas about what to say, but I
wanted to ping the list and see if anyone here has any hard research on the
subject, or has any interesting insights I might be able to share. Any ammo
is good ammo.

Thanks!
