>>Hi,
>>When writing technical documentation and describing the purpose of a table, which word would be better to use in the following sentence:
>>The table will hold records ...
>>The table will contain records ...
>>The table will store records ...

>Actually, a table will store "rows". Not that records is wrong - but rows is arguably a better term.
I am writing some user documentation (for non-technical users) and adding "rows" will confuse them even more. They understand 'records' much better.
