An example of the Your / My conflict (if there a conflict) can be
seen on Amazon. If you select the "Your Account" link it takes you to a section sub-headed "Where's My Stuff". However, below it there are links such as "Change your name", "Forgot your Password?" etc.
Do people think it that:
(1) If "Your" is used then it should be consistent across all
links?
(2) or it is possible to have "Your" as the parent link and "My" as child links
Is there a conflict within Amazon or does it make perfect sense?
So the Moral of the story is: beware of over-consistency.
"Foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds" - Emerson
