different softwares use different teminology, so i mistakenly interchange login and logon. both should be two words in either case, but i still lump them together. i must not be much of a grammar nazi.

 

[txrandom]

Login into the network.

 

[RESmonkey]

the latter

 

[aldamon]

Login is a noun. Log in or log into is correct.

I had a record of the login from Wednesday.

I will log in to the system on Wednesday.

 

[ViviTheMage]

[jjones]

Log on to the network.

 

[randay]

Sin into the network.

 

[allisolm]

Log onto the network.

 

[brandonb]

"Log into" is a verb.

"Log into" is doing an operation because its a verb.

If you tell someone to "Log into the network" you are telling them to perform that action.

"Login" means noun, as in person, place, or thing.

In that context, "Login to the network" is the username/password to get into the network.

 

[SagaLore]

Log on to the network.

 

[ZetaEpyon]

Log in, or log into, not login, for the reasons already mentioned.

For what it's worth, this is specifically called out in our corp. style guide. (I am a software documentation writer.)

Questionnn, has this "this" business always been going on? 'Cause I just started noticing it the last week or two. Seems like it's in every thread now. Where did it come from?

 

[buck]

Log onto the network is what i usually say. Then again, I don't give a damn what my users think about my grammar.

 

[Steve]

Kenny logs in or Kenny Loggins?
