I feel an interesting new thread starting....
I have struggled with this for a while, and my advice is : don't use
either, unless the interface is totally mouse-oriented. For standard
Windows etc. interfaces, since users always have the choice of using
keystrokes, I use "choose", unless I am talking about a list, when
I say "select". This usage is a mandated standard in the Sun/UNIX
world by the way.
