I've wrestled with this question for years and haven't yet come up with a
satisfactory answer. Perhaps folks here can give me some insight.

  When designing the main menu for an application, for example an accounting
application, should the main menu headings be nouns or verbs? I've seen both
on applications and I don't know if it makes any difference. Here's what I
mean:

  Noun-oriented menus have catagories such as Clients, Projects, Employees,
Vendors. Verb-oriented menus have categories such as Add, Modify, Delete.
Perhaps I'm hung up over nothing, but I always have difficulty designing the
organization of a new database. I want it to be very easy to use, and
organized in the most useful way.

  Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rich
