Topic: [Feature] Change "My Account" to just "Account"

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

Requested feature overview description.
Change the "My Account" tab to just "Account".

Why would it be useful?
The "My Account" tab is highlighted, even when the account you are viewing isn't your account. Having the tab say just "Account" would be better.

EDIT: and as Clawdragons states,

I'd like to point out that this change would make it consistent with the front page as well, which just has the link as "account".

What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected?
The tab bar at the top.

You're not supposed to be using someone else's account.

What he (or she) means is if you are viewing someone else's account. Not using it. Click either of our usernames, for example. You'll be taken to our profile pages.

It makes complete sense, and it would cause pages to load faster      lol     .

But if you click on it, then it takes you back to your own account regardless if you were already looking at someone else's account or a list of accounts.

The point, I assume, is accuracy: it highlights when you are not on your account, so changing it to just Account is more accurate...

Ellipses because I don't see much point of removing two letters and space, but I'm gonna omit my judgement because I have no idea how easy or hard changing two letters and a space is. Who knows, it might be worthwhile?
