Hm, not sure I've often [i]seen[/i] it used, but I've often heard it. But am I hearing "login" or "log in", I don't know. Either way, language evolves -- it must -- and these sorts of resistive efforts are silly.

  • While I'm not resisting the change, I still feel like with the rest of the language going in one direction, "login" as a verb feels like an oddball. "I logined," or "I'm logining," sounds weird.

    It's a noun. It describes the verb "log". logging logged logger "That is a login password. I saw someone use it when they logged into the system. Try logging in with that password." I suppose the proper useage for a EULA would be to state "log in". "You must log in to get your rewards."

  • Well now that I skimmed that site, they've got a point, which you've managed to sum up rather well in two sentences.
