    Damien,

    Isn't the nomenclature accurate in each of their contexts?

     

    In the first one it's asking you to decide on a priority; a "pecking order" not what you prefer but what you prefer in order...hence..."priority"

     

    In the second it's merely showing you what you prefer over other resources...not speaking of what priority order they are in ...just that they are your "preferred" ones.

     

    In the third example the phrase "top" bibles (I'm assuming) means the "top 5" or whatever....not "all of your prioritized bibles" or not "every bible in your preferred list" just the "top" ones.

    It seems that the nomenclature is very accurate for it's purpose and context.

    Robert,

    Accuracy isn't the issue.  To me it's about standardising the display. It annoys me ( in a most minor way) to refer to the same thing in two ways (even if I can understand that they are trying to make a slightly different point).

    Just search the forums for "preferred" to see how people are using it synonymously with "prioritize"...

    The "Top Bibles" one is not a big issue... It's just I had to search in the Library to see if I was right that it was based on the Prioritized List. I think it could be more explicit.  

    As to the Library panes. I'd prefer one word or the other "Prioritize" "Prioritize this resource" "Prioritized Resources". 

    (Please note my name is spelt DamiAn)

    Damien,

    But that's the point; they aren't referring to the same thing.

    1.) Action: Go prioritize these things in the order that you want them to be in!

    2.) Results: You have set these resources as your preferred resources over all others in your library

    3.) Notice: Of the list of bibles that you prefer, these are the top ones.

     

    They REALLY ARE are referring to 3 different things...annoying to you or not...that's just a fact brother.

     

    PS:

    Quote: Just search the forums for "preferred" to see how people are using it synonymously with "prioritize"...

    So they will learn the correct nomenclature; their error doesn't make this incorrect.

    fair enough

    could you please spell my name correctly, as asked for in previous reply?

    Damian,

    Whoops...I didn't see that you'd requested that...Sorry. I thought I was spelling it right...no offense intended...
