Comment (by doug):
I've attached a patch. (Hey, my first patch ever! TortoiseSVN is very
cool.) I think I found all the places 'login' and 'logout' should be
changed to 'log in' and 'log out', including within the default and
classic themes.
In case I need to bolster my case a bit:
* 'Log in' is used alongside (and in equivalent syntax as) the phrases
"Get New Password", "Register", and "(Go) Back to blog", all of which are
verb phrases.
* 'Log out' is always accompanied by the title attribute (pop-up text)
"Log out of this account", confirming its status as a verb phrase.
* The Dashboard uses the similar phrase "Sign Out", which is a verb.
In addition to the above changes, I also reordered the links on the
Register and Lost Password forms to be more consistent.
