Surely: log into -> write to a specific log log in to -> access a certain host no?

  Fwiw, I've always used "log to" for writing out logs. "Log to stderr". So, you know, extra fun deciding what's "correct".

    Sure, but that wasn't one of the options, and doesn't (to me) make the "into" case ambiguous :)

    In my tech writing class for the sciences, my teacher said, "Never use a noun when you could use a verb". Meaning, she would suggest saying: "Write a log to" and "User logs in to"; which are far more clear in their intent. :) I think it's amazing we can even understand each other sometimes; English is quite a terrible language.
