Good stuff.
Why did you use "respond" instead of "reply"? It's just as descriptive, and is the canonical term. It takes mental overhead to parse new terminology.
And I see the business angle in "delegate", but forwarding isn't always for purposes of delegation.
Maybe this:
Dismiss Sleep Forward Reply
- apancik 11y agoI used "respond" straight from Merlin Mann's lecture. I agree that it might create some mental overhead. I'll make a note to change it
- nacs 11y agoHonestly, you should change all the words except "Done". When people are using "simple" email software, they don't want to have to think about dictionary/uncommon words like "defer" and "delegate".
