I think we need more context. Because, honestly, I think mute/unmute is pretty prevalent, and why would you want alternatives?
I just checked the help on my Blackberry and it says "to mute do this, to turn mute off do that." But my conference service is quite clear on mute/unmute. The sound card on my laptop says "mute" (not "turn off sound"). So... Who's your audience, Sean? What's the context? ...sue On 6/5/07, Roberts, Katie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Alternatives: > Activate mute/deactivate mute > Engage mute/release mute > > Katie Roberts > Technical Writer > Jewelry Television > IT Software Engineering Product Management > 10001 Kingston Pike > Knoxville, TN 37922 > 865.692.2715 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of Dana Worley > Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2007 5:24 PM > To: tcp@techcommpros.com > Subject: Re: [TCP] looking for an elegant way to unmute > > Enable mute/disable mute? > Turn on mute/turn off mute? > Disable the sound/enable the sound? > Silence the phone/de-silence the phone? ;) > > Dana W. > (I think I like disable/enable sound) > > On Tuesday, June 05, 2007, Brierley, Sean wrote: > > > Is un-mute or unmute an elegant verb to use in the following > > circumstances?
