Question about link text variations

[afuna]

I'm considering whether having two sets of standard text would be acceptable for official styles. Right now, all the entry links (previous/next/memories/track, etc) are two words or more. That makes those links somewhat difficult to work with in some layouts which have more limited space.

What I'm considering are to have the long forms as defaults, but to have a secondary set of shorter text we can encourage style designers to standardize on, for official system styles. Keeping in mind the previous entry about changing link text, do these variations work for you?

Long and short forms of entry link text

Long	Short
Previous Entry	Previous
Next Entry	Next
Add to Memories	Memory
Untrack This	Untrack
Tell Someone	Tell
Leave a comment	Comment

Also, because "Comment" could be confused with "# comments", I usually use "Reply".

Agreed about "Reply".

Ooh, good point. And that's been kinda bugging me! In that case, though, I'd probably do "Reply" for both short and long forms.
