Though I fear I may be opening up an "e-mail" vs. "email" discussion, I
was wondering what word/phrase people use for general Web sites when
referring to adding a page to one's bookmarks/favourites:
- "Bookmark" (technically a Netscape/Opera term)
- "Add to Favorites" (an IE-specific term)
- or do you use a combination ("you can bookmark/add this page to your
favourites")?
And, for the non-Americans, if "Add to Favorites" is used, do you follow
the spelling in the browser ("Favorites") or go with "Favourites"?
Personally I lean toward "bookmark", and in the cases where I don't, I use
the "-our" spelling.
Cheers,
