45491 - fix wording in Format | Size menu

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[Kathleen :Brade]

As Matthew Thomas pointed out in the newsgroup, the Size menu wording (currently 
Decrease and Increase) should be reconsidered.

His proposal is "Larger" and "Smaller"
I'd like to see a verb in the menu, how about "Adjust Larger" or "Make Larger" or 
?  Maybe I'm being too wordy?

how about 'more' & 'less' -- that would short, sweet and to the point

Kathleen: `Format' is already a verb, so you shouldn't have another one if you 
can avoid it (without being confusing). You are Formatting (verb), the Size 
(noun), {in some way} (adverb, adjective, or comparative).

Beppe: When did you last hear anyone saying `make the size more' or `give it more 
size'? And `more' and `less' aren't as specific in meaning as `larger' and 
`smaller' are, either.

Matthew is your recommendation to go with "Larger" and "Smaller"?

No, my recommendation is `Smaller' *then* `Larger'. :-)

Otherwise the top part of the menu would be going in the small-->large direction, 
and the bottom part is going from large-->small direction; and that would be odd.
