Technical writing
>>>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 ...

>>>TIA

>>Actually, a table will store "rows". Not that records is wrong - but rows is arguably a better term.

Most users I know, would prefer rows, not records. records is a term for a technical implementation, rows is more what a user experiences.
