I hate you, Entourage

(This has driven me bananas forever so I felt the need to finally document it in a new section called Design Don’ts.)

Er… Can I have an option to send my updates to both new and old attendees, please? Hint: clicking “No” actually does that. Makes perfect sense.

Clearer options would be something along the lines of:

“Send updates to:

no one | new attendees | all attendees”

Yeah, it's because of the “added or deleted” — makes it look like you have two choices when you don't. Here's the perfect place for the definite article!

“Do you want to send updates only to THE added/deleted attendees?”

Your current buttons would leave out the deleted attendees, I think.
