Hello techwhirlers,

just wondering, which do you prefer (and why):

[A] Click the plus sign to expand the folder.

OR

[B] Expand the folder by clicking the plus sign.



I vote for B. If I don't care to expand the folder, I'll stop reading after three words. In A I have to read eight words to discover whether this is information that applies to me.
