Omit this

Is this a sin of omission? [:D] I thought it was generally agreed to be bad practice to phrase UI in the negative, especially when next to affirmative options:

Comine all word forms
Omit common stopwords
Omit numbers

Why not:

Comine all word forms
Show stopwords
Show numbers

Why "Omit locked resources" instead of "Include locked resources"?

Ok. Ok. I'm nitpicking. But all the good bugs were already found.

Get serious Randy we're talking about comining here - which is I suspect some new advance in data mining that uses two techniques at once ... super.

[:D] It looks like I committed a sin of omission there. At least I didn't confuse the n and m keys as I sometimes do, otherwise I might have tried to comiming all word forms and that really would have gotten silly.
