-# drop-down
+# dropdown
-It's OK to use *drop-down* as an adjective in content for developers if you need to describe the type of UI item or how it works.
+Most of the time, avoid talking about UI elements. Instead, describe what the customer needs to do.
+If you must refer to a *dropdown* menu or list, it’s OK to use *dropdown* as an adjective. Avoid using *dropdown* as a noun. (Like as a UI label: *Dropdowns*.)
**Examples**
-a drop-down menu
-a drop-down combo box
-a drop-down list box
+Pick from the options in the dropdown list.
+Use the dropdown menu to find the category you want.
-For other audiences, use *box* if you must name the UI element.
-
-Don't use *drop down* as a noun or verb.

# dialog box, dialog, dialogue
-Most of the time, avoid talking about UI elements. Talk about customer actions instead.
+In general, avoid talking about UI. Instead, talk about what the customer needs to do.
-When you need to refer to a dialog box, use *dialog box*—don't shorten to *dialog.* Don't use *pop-up window* or *dialogue box*.
-
-Don't hyphenate *dialog box* as a modifier.
-
-**Examples**
-Word can't open this document because a dialog box is open. Close the dialog box to continue.
-Select the **Paragraph** dialog box launcher, and then select **Tabs**.
-
-**Exception** In content for developers, it's OK to use *dialog* by itself as a modifier. For example, "This article provides information about the dialog form pattern."
-
-It's OK to use *dialogue* (not *dialog*) to refer to conversation or interaction between people or between a person and a computer. But use a more familiar, friendlier term such as *conversation* or *chat* if you can.
-
-**Examples**
-It's a great way to have a conversation with the customer about what cloud technology can do for their business.
-Do you want to chat with a customer service agent?
+When you need to refer to a dialog box, use *dialog*. Don't use *pop-up window*, *dialog box*, or *dialogue box*.

Don't specify *standard time or daylight saving time* unless you're providing information about a specific event where that information matters.
If you're referring to a time zone as a geographical area, call it a zone.
**Example**
in the Pacific Time zone
Not all time zones have names, and some time-zone names are used in more than one geographical area. If you're talking about a particular place, clarify the country or reference Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Don't include spaces around the plus sign (+) or hyphen (-).
**Examples**
Eastern Time (UTC-5)
Eastern Time (UTC+10)
Eastern Time (Australia)
For time zones without names, refer to the offset from Coordinated Universal Time.
**Example**
UTC+7
Don't abbreviate *Coordinated Universal Time* in text unless space is severely limited. Use *UTC,* never *CUT*. (It's OK to use UTC in references to a specific time zone, such as *UTC+7*.) Don't use *Universal Time Coordinate or Universal Time Coordinated*.
Don't use *Greenwich Mean Time* or *GMT* by itself unless you have no other choice. Use *Coordinated Universal Time* instead. On the first mention, it's OK to refer to *Coordinated Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time)*. |

+| **AM, PM** | Use *AM* and *PM* (preceded by a space). Use capital letters for *AM* and *PM*.
**Examples**
10:45 AM
6:30 PM |
| **Clock time** | Use the ratio symbol Unicode 2236 (alt+2236) as the delimiter between hours, minutes, and seconds, rather than the standard colon (Unicode 003A).
A standard colon is baseline aligned, the ratio symbol, on the other hand, is vertically centered between the baseline and cap-height.
**Example**
 |
| **Dates** | Use the following format for dates: *month day, year,* as in *July 31, 2016*. Don't use *day month year,* as in *31 July 2016*.
In UI, it's OK to use numbers and slashes for dates if the code supports that format and automatically displays the appropriate date format for different locales.
Don't use ordinal numbers (such as 1st, 12th, or 23rd) to indicate a date.
**Examples**
February 16, 2016
2/16/16 (in UI) |
| **Days of the week: Sunday–Saturday** | Capitalize the days of the week. Don't use abbreviations unless space is extremely limited. Don't include a period with the abbreviations.
Three-letter abbreviations are preferred:
*Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri,* and *Sat*
In calendars and date picker UI controls, it's OK to use two-letter or one-letter abbreviations:
*Su, Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr,* and *Sa*
*S, M, T, W, T, F,* and *S*
For the three-letter and two-letter abbreviations, use sentence-style capitalization (*Su*), not all uppercase (*SU*). |
-| **midnight, noon** | Use *noon* and *midnight*. Don't use *12∶00 noon* and *12∶00 midnight*.
Midnight is the beginning of the new day, not the end of the old one. |
+| **midnight, noon** | Use *noon* and *midnight*. Don't use *12:00 noon* and *12:00 midnight*.
Midnight is the beginning of the new day, not the end of the old one. |
| **Months: January–December** | Capitalize the names of months and their abbreviations.
Don't use abbreviations unless space is extremely limited.
Use three-letter abbreviations when necessary:
*Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov,* and *Dec*
Don't include a period with the abbreviations. |
| **Seasons: Fall, autumn, winter, spring, summer** | Don't refer to seasons if you can avoid it. Talk about months or calendar quarters instead. If you must mention a specific season, identify the hemisphere, too. (Summer in the northern hemisphere is winter in the southern hemisphere.)
Don't capitalize the seasons except to designate an issue of a publication, such as *Spring 2017*. |
-| **Time, ranges of time** | Use numerals for times of day: 2∶00, 4∶15, 7∶30. Always include *AM* and *PM*.
Include the time zone if you're discussing an event that customers beyond the local time zone might see or attend.
In text, use *to* in a range of times.
**Example**
10∶00 AM to 2∶00 PM
In a schedule or listing, use an en dash with no spaces around it.
**Example**
10∶00 AM–2∶00 PM
**Exception**
In a date range that includes two times and two dates, add spaces around the en dash. Lead with whatever is most important to the customer within the context: time of day or date.
**Examples**
2∶15 AM–4∶45 PM 4/1/16 (time range on a single day)
12/1/17 2∶15 PM – 4/1/18 4∶45 PM (time plus date range) |

| **Time zones: Eastern Time, Central Time, Mountain Time, Pacific Time, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)** | Capitalize time zones. Don't abbreviate unless space is severely limited. If you must abbreviate, use *ET, CT, MT,* and *PT*.
Don't specify *standard time or daylight saving time* unless you're providing information about a specific event where that information matters.
If you're referring to a time zone as a geographical area, call it a zone.
**Example**
in the Pacific Time zone
Not all time zones have names, and some time-zone names are used in more than one geographical area. If you're talking about a particular place, clarify the country or reference Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Don't include spaces around the plus sign (+) or hyphen (-).
**Examples**
Eastern Time (UTC-5)
Eastern Time (UTC+10)
Eastern Time (Australia)
For time zones without names, refer to the offset from Coordinated Universal Time.
**Example**
UTC+7
Don't abbreviate *Coordinated Universal Time* in text unless space is severely limited. Use *UTC,* never *CUT*. (It's OK to use UTC in references to a specific time zone, such as *UTC+7*.) Don't use *Universal Time Coordinate or Universal Time Coordinated*.
Don't use *Greenwich Mean Time* or *GMT* by itself unless you have no other choice. Use *Coordinated Universal Time* instead. On the first mention, it's OK to refer to *Coordinated Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time)*. |

-| **cloud** | Don't capitalize. Don't use *Microsoft Cloud* or *the Cloud.*
Use *cloud* mostly as an adjective. Use sparingly as a noun *(the cloud).*
Don't use *cloud* interchangeably with *internet* or *web*. |
-| **cloud platform, cloud services** | Use *cloud platform* only in content for a technical audience, such as content about Azure. In content for a general audience, just refer to cloud services. |
-| **community cloud** | Never use. Use *hybrid cloud,* *private cloud,* or *hosted private cloud* instead. |
-| **dynamic service capacity** | Don't use. Use *elastic service capacity* instead. |
-| **elastic service capacity** | Use to describe the flexible allocation of computing resources over the internet as demand changes. Define on first mention for audiences that might not be familiar with the concept. |
-| **hosted service** | Use to describe a service, an IT solution, or an application that's hosted by a service provider and made available to customers over the internet. |
-| **hosting provider, hoster** | It's OK to use *cloud hosting provider* and *web hosting provider,* if necessary, to distinguish cloud service providers from web hosts. Don't use *hoster*. |
+| **as a service (-aaS)** | Use only *as a service (-aaS)* terms included in this term list.
Don’t create new *as a service* terms or *-aaS* acronyms. Instead, describe the service and what it provides the customer.
+| **cloud, the cloud** | Don't capitalize *cloud* except in references to the Microsoft Cloud or when it's part of a product name.
Use *cloud* mostly as an adjective. Use sparingly as a noun—instead of *the cloud*, talk about *cloud computing*, *cloud services*, or a specific service or functionality and what the customer can do with it. |
+| **cloud bursting, cloud-bursting** | It’s OK to use *cloud bursting* for technical audiences to mean when a private cloud taps into additional resources on the public cloud to meet a spike in demand. Define on the first mention.

Lowercase.
Use *at the edge*—not *on the edge*—in references to edge computing.
+| **elastic computing, elastic cloud computing** | In general, avoid using these terms and instead talk about what the customer can do with this technology.
If your meaning is unclear without the terms, it’s OK to use them to talk about the use of cloud computing to quickly expand or decrease computer processing, memory, and storage resources to meet changing demands. Use *elastic cloud computing* when you need to clarify that cloud services are used.
Define these terms on the first mention unless you’re sure that your audience is familiar with them.

| **Declaration/syntax** | The code signature that defines the element. This section might also provide usage syntax. If the technology can be used with multiple programming languages, provide syntax for each language. <br />**Example**<br />`Record.MoveRecord (Source, Destination, UserName, Password, Options, Async)` |
| **Parameters** | If the element has parameters, provide a description of each parameter and its data type. If appropriate, indicate whether the parameter is required or optional and whether it represents input or output. Provide as much useful detail as possible. Don't just repeat the words in the parameter name or the data type.<br />**Examples**<br />*Source*<br />Optional. A **String** value that contains a URL identifying the **Record** to be moved. If *Source* is omitted or specifies an empty string, the object represented by this **Record** is moved. For example, if the **Record** represents a file, the contents of the file are moved to the location specified by *Destination.*<br /><br />*Destination*<br />Optional. A **String** value that contains a URL specifying the location where *Source* will be moved.<br /><br />*UserName*<br />Optional. A **String** value that contains the user ID that, if needed, authorizes access to *Destination.*<br /><br />*Password*<br />Optional. A **String** that contains the password that, if needed, verifies *UserName.*<br /><br />*Options*<br />Optional. A **MoveRecordOptionsEnum** value whose default value is **adMoveUnspecified**. Specifies the behavior of this method.<br /><br />*Async*<br />Optional. A **Boolean** value that, when **True**, specifies this operation should be asynchronous. |
| **Return value** | If the element returns a value, describe the value and information about its data type. If the value is a Boolean that indicates the presence of a condition, describe the condition. <br />**Example**<br />A **String** value. Typically, the value of *Destination* is returned. However, the exact value returned is provider-dependent. |
-| **Remarks** | Additional information about the element and important details that may not be obvious from its syntax, parameters, or return value. For example, you might explain what the element does in more detail, compare it with similar elements, and identify potential issues in its use. <br />**Example**<br />The values of *Source* and *Destination* must not be identical; otherwise, a runtime error occurs. At least the server, path, and resource names must differ.<br /><br />For files moved using the Internet Publishing Provider, this method updates all hypertext links in files being moved unless otherwise specified by *Options.* This method fails if *Destination* identifies an existing object (for example, a file or directory), unless **adMoveOverWrite** is specified.<br /><br />**Note** Use the **adMoveOverWrite** option judiciously. For example, specifying this option when moving a file to a directory will delete the directory and replace it with the file.<br /><br />Certain attributes of the **Record** object, such as the **ParentURL** property, won't be updated after this operation completes. Refresh the **Record** object's properties by closing the **Record**, then reopening it with the URL of the location where the file or directory was moved.<br /><br />If this **Record** was obtained from a **Recordset**, the new location of the moved file or directory won't be reflected immediately in the **Recordset**. Refresh the **Recordset** by closing and reopening it.<br /><br />**Note** URLs using the http scheme will automatically invoke the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Internet Publishing.

-| **Clock time** | Use the ratio symbol Unicode 2236 (alt+2236) as the delimiter between hours, minutes, and seconds, rather than the standard colon (Unicode 003A). <br /> <br /> A standard colon is baseline aligned, the ratio symbol, on the other hand, is vertically centered between the baseline and cap-height.<br />**Example**<br /> |

| **Dates** | Use the following format for dates: *month day, year,* as in *July 31, 2016*. Don't use *day month year,* as in *31 July 2016*.<br /><br />In UI, it's OK to use numbers and slashes for dates if the code supports that format and automatically displays the appropriate date format for different locales.<br /><br />Don't use ordinal numbers (such as 1st, 12th, or 23rd) to indicate a date.<br />**Examples**<br />February 16, 2016<br />2/16/16 (in UI) |
| **Days of the week: Sunday–Saturday** | Capitalize the days of the week. Don't use abbreviations unless space is extremely limited. Don't include a period with the abbreviations.<br /><br />Three-letter abbreviations are preferred:<br />*Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri,* and *Sat*<br /><br />In calendars and date picker UI controls, it's OK to use two-letter or one-letter abbreviations:<br />*Su, Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr,* and *Sa*<br />*S, M, T, W, T, F,* and *S*<br /><br />For the three-letter and two-letter abbreviations, use sentence-style capitalization (*Su*), not all uppercase (*SU*). |
| **midnight, noon** | Use *noon* and *midnight*. Don't use *12∶00 noon* and *12∶00 midnight*.<br /><br />Midnight is the beginning of the new day, not the end of the old one. |

| **Seasons: Fall, autumn, winter, spring, summer** | Don't refer to seasons if you can avoid it. Talk about months or calendar quarters instead. If you must mention a specific season, identify the hemisphere, too. (Summer in the northern hemisphere is winter in the southern hemisphere.) <br /><br />Don't capitalize the seasons except to designate an issue of a publication, such as *Spring 2017*. |

Use *UTC,* never *CUT*. (It's OK to use UTC in references to a specific time zone, such as *UTC+7*.) Don't use *Universal Time Coordinate or Universal Time Coordinated*.<br /><br />Don't use *Greenwich Mean Time* or *GMT* by itself unless you have no other choice. Use *Coordinated Universal Time* instead. On the first mention, it's OK to refer to *Coordinated Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time)*. |

# Accessibility terms
-Write in a way that puts people first by using the phrase *person with* or *person who.*
+In general, use people-first language (refer first to the person, followed by the disability). To ensure clarity and consistency, this should be the default unless you know a specific audience prefers otherwise.
-Don’t use language that defines people by their disability, such as *disabled, impaired,* and *the deaf.* A person might have a visual impairment, but that person isn’t impaired.
+In some cases, however, identity-first language can be used, because some people and communities take pride in recognizing their disability as an integral part of their identity and feel that person-first language is marginalizing. Always make an effort to know the preferences expressed by a person with a disability or a disability community and defer to these.
-**Examples**<br />
-Person with visual impairment, person who is blind<br />
-Person with hearing loss, person with deafness<br />
-Person who is nonverbal, person who uses sign language<br />
-Person who uses a wheelchair<br />
-Person with a prosthetic limb, person without a limb<br />
-Person with autism<br />
-Person of small stature<br />
+In all cases, don’t use language that has offensive or insensitive connotations, such as *maimed* or *impaired*.
-It's OK to use words such as *see*, *read*, and *look* when calling out an example or another reference.
+The following table lists examples of people-first language (preferred), identity-first language (acceptable, context-dependent), and offensive or insensitive language (never allowed).
+ **Preferred (people-first)** | **Acceptable (identity-first)** | **Do not use (offensive/insensitive)** |
+|----------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| Person who is blind, person with low vision | Blind person | Sight-impaired, vision-impaired |

+| Person with limited mobility, person who has a mobility or physical disability | Physically disabled person, wheelchair user | Crippled, lame, handicapped |
+| Is unable to speak, uses sign language, uses synthetic speech* | | Dumb, mute, non-verbal |

+| **File names** | Title-style capitalization. It's OK to use internal caps in file names for readability. | My Taxes for 2016<br />MyTaxesFor2016 |
+| **Folder and directory names** | Sentence-style capitalization. It's OK to use internal capital letters in folder and directory names for readability. | Vacation and sick pay<br />MyFiles\Accounting\Payroll\VacPay |
+| **Macros** | Usually all uppercase. Use bold formatting if predefined. Might be monospace if user defined. Treatment varies. | **LOWORD**<br />`MASKROP` |
+| **Markup language elements (tags)** | Bold. Capitalization varies. | **\<img>**<br />**\<input type=text>**<br />**\<!DOCTYPE html>** |
+| **Mathematical constants and variables** | Italic. | *a2 + b2 = c2* |

+| **UI text or strings** | Sentence-style capitalization. | Find on page <br /> Read aloud <br /> Hide selected items |
+| **URLs** | All lowercase for complete URLs. If necessary, line-break long URLs before a slash. Don't hyphenate.<br />**See also** [URLs and web addresses](../urls-web-addresses.md) | www<span></span>.microsoft.com<br />msdn.microsoft.com/downloads |
-**Example**<br/>
-For more information see [Accessibility terms](~/a-z-word-list-term-collections/term-collections/accessibility-terms.md).
-If necessary, use the following terms to describe people with disabilities or the disabilities themselves.
For an overview of Microsoft accessibility policies, see [Accessibility guidelines and requirements](~/accessibility/accessibility-guidelines-requirements.md).
-To learn more about writing that conveys respect to all people and promotes equal opportunities, see the [Guidelines for Inclusive Language](https://www.linguisticsociety.org/content/guidelines-inclusive-language "Linguistic Society of America's guidelines for inclusive language") from the Linguistic Society of America.

-# Illustrating network traffic flows
-
-When
-you need to create a graphical representation of network traffic
-using industry or proprietary protocols, follow these guidelines.
-Always include a legend that explains the visual conventions.
-
-## Use colors carefully
-
-Use
-a consistent color, such as white, gray, or a light accent color,
-for important elements in the network diagram. Accentuate with
-additional colors. Text, graphics, and lines
-should contrast with the background to support people with limited
-vision.
-
-## Use consistent text formatting
-
-Use sentence-style capitalization. To learn more, see [Capitalization](~/capitalization.md).
-
-## Represent communication with arrows, lines, and labels
-
-**Use arrows to indicate which computer initiates communication.**
-Use a single-headed arrow to indicate a single initiator of
-communication. Use a double-headed arrow to indicate that the
-computer shown at either end of the arrow can initiate
-communication.
-
-With both types of arrows, subsequent communication is two-way.
-
-<br /><br />
-
-**Use line styles to distinguish different traffic flows.** Choose line colors that contrast with the image background
-and are distinct when printed or viewed in black and white.
-
-<br /><br />
-
-**Label specific network traffic.** If possible, overlay the label onto the line:
-
-<br /><br />
-
-Otherwise, add the label as a callout:
-
-
-
-## Represent security boundaries with solid vertical lines
-
-Use
-a solid vertical line to indicate a security boundary. Draw lines
-that indicate network traffic flow across the vertical line. This
-example shows firewalled and partitioned networks in Microsoft
-Azure.
-
-
-
-## Use standard network traffic syntax
-
-Use the following syntax to create the label for the network traffic flow:
-
-*SUBSUBPROT/SUBPROT/PROT/TCP SourceRange-\>DestRange,UDP SourceRange-\>DestRange*
-
-**SUBSUBPROT/SUBPROT/PROT** List
-the protocols using their standard industry acronym or name, from the
-highest in the protocol stack to the lowest. For example,
-XMPP/MTLS.
-
-**"/TCP," "/UDP," or "/TCP\&UDP"** Indicate
-whether the following ports are for TCP traffic, UDP traffic,
-or a combination of TCP and UDP traffic ("/TCP *SourceRange*-\>*DestRange*,UDP *SourceRange*-\>*DestRange"*). If
-both TCP and UDP use the same set of ports, use "/TCP\&UDP."
-You can omit "/TCP" if the traffic is known to be TCP traffic only.
-UDP traffic must be indicated with "/UDP *SourceRange*-\>*DestRange."*
-
-**SourceRange-\>DestRange** Use the *SourceRange* and *DestRange*
-values to indicate the source and destination ports for TCP or UDP
-traffic. There can be multiple sets of source and
-destination ranges. For four-digit and five-digit port numbers,
-omit the comma separating the thousands. For example, use "41239,"
-not "41,239." *SourceRange* and *DestRange*
-can be a single TCP or UDP port, a port range, multiple
-individual ports, multiple ranges, or a combination of individual
-ports and port ranges (each separated by a comma) in the order in
-which they’re used. You can omit port numbers if they're
-known. Use "dyn" to indicate dynamically allocated source ports
-(also known as "ephemeral ports"). Omit "dyn-\>" if the initiator
-uses only dynamic ports.
-
-
-| **Examples of explicitly stated protocols and source and destination ports** | **Examples that omit "/TCP," known ports, and dynamic source ports** |
-|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
-| HTTP/TCP dyn->80 | HTTP |
-| HTTP/TCP dyn->443 | HTTPS |
-| HTTP/TCP dyn->8080 | HTTP 8080 |
-| HTTP/TCP dyn->53 | DNS/TCP&UDP |
-| SRTP/TCP&UDP dyn->50000-59999 | SRTP/TCP&UDP 50000-59999 |
-| CIFS/TCP dyn->135,445 | CIFS 135,445 |
-| STUN/UDP dyn->3478 | STUN/UDP 3478 |
-| SIP/TLS/TCP dyn->444 | SIP 444 |
-| XMPP/MTLS/TCP dyn->23456 | XMPP/MTLS 23456 |
-| ABC/TCP 123->456 | ABC 123->456 |

# disable, disabled
-Don't use *disabled* to refer to people with disabilities.
+Don’t use *disable* to describe making a command or function inactive or unavailable. Replace with specific, plain language phrases, such as *turn off*, *hide*, *make unavailable*, *make inactive*, *block*, or *remove*, as appropriate.
-In content for a technical audience, it's OK to use *disable* to mean making a command or function inactive and *disabled* to describe such commands and functions.
+As a state, replace *disabled* with descriptors such as *inactive*, *unavailable*, or *off*.
-In other content, use *turned off* or *isn’t available.*
+When admins turn off products, settings, or features, it’s OK to use *disable*. But substitute terms like *make unavailable* or *block* if you can reasonably do so.
-**Examples**
+**Example**
If the command prompt isn’t available, your network administrator might have turned off this feature.
-Disable the command prompt to prevent users from opening a command window.

# percent, percentage
-One word. Spell out unless space is constrained. When spelling out *percent,* insert a space between the number and the word.
+Use the percent sign (“%”) with numerals, rather than spelling out “percent.” You don’t need a space between the percent sign and the numeral.
-It's OK to use the percent sign (%):
+**Exceptions**
+ - Don't use "%" to refer to the symbol itself—refer to the “percent sign.”
+ - Don't use the percent sign at the beginning of a sentence.
+ - Don't use the percent sign to mean "percentage."
- - In data-intensive content, such as tables, charts, and dashboards.
- - To save space in UI (such as in controls).
- - As a technical symbol.
-
-Always use a numeral with *percent,* no matter how small.
-
-**Examples**
-At least 50 percent of your system resources should be available.
-Only 1 percent of the test group was unable to complete the task.
-
-**Exception**
-When you use *percent* in column headings to name the rate percent term in the percentage formula (base \* rate percent = percentage), you can use *percent* without a numeral. (See the following examples.)
-
-Use *percentage:*
-
- - When you don't specify a quantity, such as in the phrase *a large percentage of system resources.*
- - When applying the percentage formula (base \* rate percent = percentage)*.*
-
-**Examples**
-
-| List price | Discount percent | Discount percentage |Sales price|
-|---|---|---|---|
-| $200 | 5% | $10.00 |$190.00|
-
-10.00 USD is the percentage discount calculated by applying a 10 percent discount to a list price of 100.00 USD. $100.00 \* 10% = $10.00.
-
- - 10 percent is the percent discount.
- - $10.00 is the percentage discount.

# AI and bot terms
-In general, avoid talking about AI and bot technology. Instead, focus on the benefits of the technology or what the customer wants to do with it. When it's necessary to talk about the technology itself—such as in content for developers or in event presentations, or to make it clear that the customer is chatting with a bot, not a person—use the terms below.

Before you invent a term, make sure a suitable term doesn't already exist. For more information about creating new terms or using emerging terminology, see [Use technical terms carefully](~/word-choice/use-technical-terms-carefully.md).

# Formatting titles
-Follow these conventions for formatting titles.
+In general, use sentence-style casing (that is, only capitalize the first word of a title, like at the beginning of a sentence), as this makes content more readable and ensures better localizability.
-**See also** [Capitalization](~/capitalization.md), [Headings](~/scannable-content/headings.md)
+Use bold font instead of italics for titles to enhance readability and accessibility.
+
+There are some notable exceptions to sentence-casing. These include:
+
++ The titles of books (including e-books), white papers, and reports:
+
+**Unraveling HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript**
+
+**Backup and Recovery Overview for Azure Customers**
+
++ Games:
+
+Some of the top games on Microsoft Store include **Sea of Thieves 2023 Edition** and **Stardew Valley**.
-| **Titles** | **Convention** | **Example** |
-|---|---|--|
-| **Games** | Title-style capitalization. Italic. | *Halo: Reach* |
-| **Books** | Title-style capitalization. Italic in body text, citations, and other text references. | Check out _Unraveling HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript_ (in body text) <br /> Minecraft: The Complete Handbook Collection (in a heading) |
-| **Chapters and sections of books** | Usually sentence-style capitalization. Enclose in quotation marks. | See Chapter 9, "Extending forms." <br /> See “Managing your contacts” |
-| **White papers** | Title-style capitalization. | Backup and Recovery Overview for Azure Customers <br /> Advanced Analytics with Power BI <br />The Evolution of Malware Prevention |
-| **Song titles** | Title-style capitalization. In citations, enclose song titles in quotation marks and italicize album titles. | Run the World (Girls) <br /> Everything Is Awesome <br /> Shut Up and Dance |
-| **Blog titles** | Title-style capitalization. In references, don't enclose the title in quotation marks. | Microsoft on the Issues <br /> The Official Microsoft Blog <br /> Welcome to This Week on Windows, where we bring you the latest in Windows news, apps, and tips from experts here at Microsoft. |
-| **Titles of blog posts, web articles, and press releases** | Sentence-style capitalization. It's OK to use title-style capitalization to highlight a blog or article title in a tweet. If a reference to a blog post, article, or press release isn't linked, enclose the title in quotation marks. | Excel goes to camp <br /> Securing your preproduction environment in the cloud <br /> For information about the latest scam tactics, see "Tech support scams are a growing problem" on the Microsoft on the Issues blog. |
++ Events and webinars:
+
+The **Microsoft Envision AI Tour** is for decision-makers and developers, with events curated for each audience.
+
+**OneNote Best Practices for Educators and Students with Mike Tholfsen**

+# see, see also, and similar phrases
+
+Phrases like *see*, *see also*, *view*, *view all*, and *watch it later* are fine to use from an inclusive design perspective, as long as they're being used in contexts that otherwise support accessibility. The problem is when we use that language and then fail to provide a way for the person to consume the content.
+
+See [Accessibility guidelines and requirements](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/accessibility/accessibility-guidelines-requirements) for more information about creating products and content that are accessible to people of all abilities.

+# Militaristic language
+
+Avoid using terms associated with violence and military actions unless you are referring to physical combat operations.
+
+In the context of cybersecurity at Microsoft, use the following recommendations in the table of militaristic terms.
+
+
+| **Use this** | **Not this** |
+|----------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
+| address; protect against; respond to | combat; fight; eliminate |
+| cyberattack chain | (cyber) kill chain |
+| cyberattacker; bad actor; threat actor | attacker; adversary |
+| impact | blast radius |
+| multilayered approach; defense-in-depth cybersecurity | defense-in-depth approach |
+| protect; safeguard; defend | guard; ward |
+| secured | locked down |
+| security; protection; defense | fortifications; first line of defense; frontlines |
+| security teams; security analysts; defenders | frontline analysts |
+| vulnerabilities; points of access; external exposure | external attack surface |
+
+
+**Attack**
+It’s ok to use *attack* if there’s context in front of it describing what kind of attack it is. For example, say, *Early detection is critical to preventing damage from malware attacks* instead of *Get protection from sophisticated attacks*.
+
+If there’s no context before attack that describes what kind of attack it is, add *cyber*- in front of threat so it reads *cyberattack*, all one word, no space, no hyphen.
+
+**Example**
+Uncover and defend against advanced cyberattacks across your entire digital estate.
+
+**Defend, defense, and defenses**
+It’s ok to use *defend* and *defenses* if there’s context in the same sentence that makes it clear they’re referring to cybersecurity.
+
+**Examples**
+Learn how to defend your cloud and on-premises workloads.
+Extend your defenses across endpoints and clouds with Microsoft Security.
+
+**External attack surface**
+It’s ok to use this phrase when discussing external attack surface management, external attack surface management capabilities, or the product Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management.
+
+Don’t use the phrase *external attack surface* when referring to a customer’s points of access that are potentially vulnerable to an attack. Use *vulnerabilities*, *points of access*, or *external exposure* instead.
+
+**Threat**
+It’s ok to use *threat* if there’s context in front of it describing what kind of threat it is.
+
+**Example**
+Explore an integrated identity threat and response solution.
+
+If there’s no context before *threat* that describes what kind of threat it is, add *cyber*- in front of threat so it reads *cyberthreat*, all one word no space no hyphen.
+
+**Example**
+Identify and remediate cyberthreats in the cloud and on-premises.
+
+**Threat intelligence**
+It’s ok to use *threat intelligence* if the surrounding context makes it clear it’s related to cybersecurity. Don’t shorten to *threat intel*.
+
+**Example**
+Get actionable insights into new and emerging cyberthreats with dynamic threat intelligence.
+
+**Never use**
+These terms are overtly militaristic and should never be used in the context of cybersecurity at Microsoft (though they may be used to refer to physical combat operations):
+
+air cover
+bomb, email bomb, mail bomb, time bomb
+enemy, enemies, enemy lines
+go on the offensive
+invade, invasion
+missile, torpedo
+nuke, go nuclear
+strike
+troops
+

+# Copilot, copilot\#
+
+The term copilot can be used in a general sense to describe any AI-powered assistant or helper. Microsoft Copilot is our first-party tool that uses the power of AI to understand natural language prompts and perform a variety of tasks such as generating content, summarizing information, and organizing data.
+
+**Microsoft Copilot experiences**
+
+On first mention, use Microsoft Copilot. For subsequent mentions, it’s OK to use Copilot.
+When using Copilot to describe a Microsoft experience, don’t make Copilot plural, but you may use it as an adjective describing a plural noun (for example, "Copilot experiences"). Don’t use an article (a/the) in front of names that include Copilot. Don't use Copilot/copilot as a verb.
+**Custom copilot experiences**
+
+Use a lowercase c when referring to a copilot other than Microsoft Copilot, such as a third-party experience created in Copilot Studio that responds to natural language prompts and uses generative AI to help customers complete tasks.
+
+It’s OK to use copilots in the plural to describe these third-party experiences. When you use copilot as a noun or adjective to refer generally to third-party experiences, it should be lowercase. It’s OK to use the article a with copilot, but not the.
+**Examples**
+Turn your words into a powerful productivity tool with copilot assistance.
+
+When generating summaries about your document, Copilot will provide references with citations.
+
+Create AI-powered copilots using Microsoft Copilot Studio.

-# prompt
+# prompt, prompting
-Use
-only to describe a signal, which might or might not be a
-message, that an app or the operating system is waiting for the customer
-to take some action. In general, restrict the use of *prompt* as a noun to the command prompt.
+The process of instructing an AI to do a task is called *prompting*. We tell the AI a set of instructions (the prompt) and it performs the task. Prompts can be as simple as a question, or as complex as context, instructions, and multiple examples. Prompts can contain prompts, sometimes referred to as prompt chaining.
-Use as a verb to describe the act of requesting information or an action from the customer.
+**Guidelines**
-**Examples**
-If you see a message that more information is needed ....
-When you run Setup, you're prompted to select settings and file locations.
+Focus on outcomes: Tell the user how to describe what they want to achieve their desired results, and include clear, relevant examples.
+
+Avoid using *prompt* as a noun within product UI, as in "Write your prompt." Instead, use request as in "Try a different request."
+
+Avoid using *prompt* as a noun phrase, as in "prompt field."
+
+Do not use *prompt* as a verb, as in "Then prompt Copilot to write your reply."
+
+**Learn prompting**
+If you want quality outputs, you need fine-tuned prompts. To start becoming a prompting pro, check out this guidance we like:

# Quotation marks
-In most content, use double quotation marks (" ") not single quotation marks (' ').
-
-In
-printed content, use curly quotation marks (“ ”) except in
-user input and code samples, which call for straight quotation
-marks (" "). If your project style sheet requires
-straight quotation marks with sans serif fonts, such as in
-headings, follow the style sheet.
-
-In online content, use straight quotation marks.
-
-Refer to *quotation marks, opening quotation marks,* and *closing quotation marks.* Don't call them *quote marks, quotes, open* or *close quotation marks,* or *beginning* or *ending quotation marks.*
+Use single quotation marks (' ') to indicate quoted material within a quotation. Double and single straight quotation marks can also be used to indicate feet and inches, respectively.
Place closing quotation marks:
- Outside commas and periods.
- Inside other punctuation.
+
+**Exception** If punctuation is part of the quoted material, place it inside the quotation marks.
-**Exception** If punctuation is part of the quoted material, place it inside the quotation marks.
+**Examples**
+One type of malware is called a "trojan clicker."
+He explained: "One type of malware, called a 'trojan clicker,' uses your PC to 'click' online ads.'
+Use an 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper.
+
+**Quotation marks in Segoe**
+Use straight quotation marks (" "). Segoe Sans, the Microsoft font family, does not have a curly quotation mark option.
+
+**Preferred terms**
+
+Refer to *quotation marks, opening quotation marks,* and *closing quotation marks.* Don't call them *quote marks, quotes, open* or *close quotation marks,* or *beginning* or *ending quotation marks.*
-**Examples**

+
+## Security
+
+Microsoft takes the security of our software products and services seriously, which includes all source code repositories managed through our GitHub organizations, which include [Microsoft](https://github.com/microsoft), [Azure](https://github.com/Azure), [DotNet](https://github.com/dotnet), [AspNet](https://github.com/aspnet), [Xamarin](https://github.com/xamarin), and [our GitHub organizations](https://opensource.microsoft.com/).
+
+If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in any Microsoft-owned repository that meets [Microsoft's definition of a security vulnerability](https://aka.ms/opensource/security/definition), please report it to us as described below.
+
+## Reporting Security Issues
+
+**Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.**
+
+Instead, please report them to the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) at [https://msrc.microsoft.com/create-report](https://aka.ms/opensource/security/create-report).
+
+If you prefer to submit without logging in, send email to [secure@microsoft.com](mailto:secure@microsoft.com). If possible, encrypt your message with our PGP key; please download it from the [Microsoft Security Response Center PGP Key page](https://aka.ms/opensource/security/pgpkey).
+
+You should receive a response within 24 hours. If for some reason you do not, please follow up via email to ensure we received your original message. Additional information can be found at [microsoft.com/msrc](https://aka.ms/opensource/security/msrc).
+
+Please include the requested information listed below (as much as you can provide) to help us better understand the nature and scope of the possible issue:
+
+ * Type of issue (e.g. buffer overflow, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, etc.)
+ * Full paths of source file(s) related to the manifestation of the issue
+ * The location of the affected source code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
+ * Any special configuration required to reproduce the issue
+ * Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
+ * Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
+ * Impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit the issue
+
+This information will help us triage your report more quickly.
+
+If you are reporting for a bug bounty, more complete reports can contribute to a higher bounty award. Please visit our [Microsoft Bug Bounty Program](https://aka.ms/opensource/security/bounty) page for more details about our active programs.
+
+## Preferred Languages
+
+We prefer all communications to be in English.
+
+## Policy
+
+Microsoft follows the principle of [Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure](https://aka.ms/opensource/security/cvd).
