I have been asked to create a style guide for my department. I remember
hearing of a website that listed the "proper" way to refer to computer
terminology. For example, is a text box and a field the same thing? When
writing an instruction, should you say press ENTER or "Enter" (or neither).
However, I cannot find that site anywhere. We would like to create more
consistent manuals because everyone has their own way to refer to things. If
anyone has any knowledge of resources, I'd appreciate it.
