UnFreep at will. :)

1. Here is a funny thought.

Ever noticed how all the buttons on things like polls and online sites and EULA forms have changed to use the word Submit.

Even if for meaning of agree, or meaning of register or transmit, many of the buttons say 'Submit'

Here is the definition of that word.
sub·mit (sb-mt)
v. sub·mit·ted, sub·mit·ting, sub·mits
v.tr.
1. To yield or surrender (oneself) to the will or authority of another.
2. To subject to a condition or process.
3. To commit (something) to the consideration or judgment of another. See Synonyms at propose.
4. To offer as a proposition or contention: I submit that the terms are entirely unreasonable.
v.intr.
1. To give in to the authority, power, or desires of another. See Synonyms at yield.
2. To allow oneself to be subjected to something.


I would have to ask, what definition is part of giving an opinion on a poll?


I think that is a subtle use of control language.


Since I do not 'Submit' I have noticed that since they first started using that choice of wording.
