Something I’ve always found interesting is wording in 1st person vs 2nd person. For example a link to “your orders” vs “my orders”. They’re both legit, but feel totally different. And I guess there’s a third, neutral option: just “orders”. The article mentions this very briefly, but this difference has a pretty profound effect on how the relation between the site and myself feels, that it doesn’t go into. I wonder how deliberate this decision (1st or 2nd person) is on most sites.
