Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2022-12-01 15:40:18 CET 
"Login" can refer to credentials used for authentication, or the processes of authenticating, but it is incorrect to use it as a verb, e.g. "I will login to this system".

Unfortunately, we have a number of places where we incorrectly use "login" as a verb.

Now at least the TAG uses "login" and "log in" correctly.
Comment 8 Alexander Zeijlon cendio 2024-11-04 11:30:12 CET 
Changed from "login" to "log in" where appropriate in our tlclient code.

Looked at attachment 1241 [details], everything on the topic of "login is not a verb" has been patched. Leaving the other changes, "auto" -> "automatic", for now since it is not within the scope of this bug.

Checked native client for incorrect "login" vs. "log in" usage. Everything seems to be in order.
Comment 14 Emelie cendio 2024-11-05 14:52:17 CET 
The fix in commit r41296 looks good.

Also checked and fixed in vsm for incorrect "login" vs "log in" in commit r41303.
