I received user feedback from a woman who said our submit button was "vile" and "sexist" because the label on it said "Submit". It took me a second to process. I can't imagine the emotions bubbling up inside her every day that she browses the web.
But regardless, we'll be changing the "Submit" button to "Sign In".

- FluidDjango 16y agoMight there be enough people feeling the way she does to warrant browsers providing an option (like setting minimum font size) of specifying what 'type="submit"' fields should display? Perhaps the woman in question might prefer that they all displayed, "Dominate". [Sorry: it just seems worth the down-votes.]
- bostonvaulter2 16y agoI would say not a full browser option, but it would make sense as an extension/userscript
