RE: Nitpicky little style question

Also according to Microsoft, in user documents, avoid the technical
names of interface elements and just use "select" or "click" whatever.
Focus on the task and the names of the parameters or settings being
selected, not the interface elements. 

In developer documentation, use the proper technical terms for your
development environment.
