true and false. Check boxes are marked, while radio buttons
are selected.

Liz' text says:
“Mark” Versus “Select”

“Select” is used to refer to the selection of objects/items,
for 
example, paragraphs or characters which are then deleted,
moved, copied, 
given a new font, etc. It is also used when selecting
options from 
list/combo box drop-down lists and for radio buttons.

To discuss the use of check boxes, use the verbs “mark” and
“unmark” or 
the adjectives “marked” and “unmarked”.


Thank you for bringing this into our attention again.
