Admittedly, I have never heard this phrasing used to describe an examination score. While I expect the average North American English speaker would follow without major effort, it would be a non-standard thing to say. The cadence and structure of this quote also matches the cadence of your examples (“I ____ed the exam”). “Swept” invokes to “make a clean sweep” in a competitive event (usually always? with multiple matches).
- Ironic that the instruction at the bottom of this page is ‘Sign up or login’.
- Even my suggestion wouldn’t be quite wrong in describing a 98% or 99%.
- At this point in time, I suspect the prevailing opinion is correct – that log in to is preferable for purposes of clarity.
- Perhaps they followed a sequence of pages viewed with a web browser.
As for “Log in to host.com” versus “Log into host.com,” I would use the former because I think that “log in” is a fixed phrase. Martha’s answer to another question is also related. “Box has been deleted successfully” is the better choice by far.

Otherwise, it has simply not been submitted. Very informal, but “I owned that exam” to me would imply having done as well as possible. There are a lot of questions concerning the correct use if login, log in, etc. Because this question may lead to opinionated discussion, debate, and answers, it has been closed.

The important information (for them or anyone attempting to help them) is that they are now registered. This does not include notifications regarding delivery or message read receipts. Usually, I don’t find two “same looking” words both valid and formally valid.
The other answers (so far) all give phrases which mean “I got a very high score”, and probably “I got the highest grade possible”, but none of them carry the connotation of 100%. I’m here because I’m torn between log in to and log into and looking for clarification. At this point in time, I suspect the prevailing opinion is correct – that log in to is preferable for purposes of clarity. In principle, the user can get to the “registered” state in more than one way. Perhaps they followed a sequence of pages viewed with a web browser. Perhaps they clicked on a link in a message of some kind.

Interestingly, I think this discussion is showing a real difficulty in (at least American) English in distinguishing between perfection and merely doing very well. Even my suggestion wouldn’t be quite wrong in describing a 98% or 99%. After the user press the submit button and everything in the registration form is correct he is automatically registered and logged in. And the message is shown in a pop up window. However, I am not sure which form is better to use. Please, explain which sentence is better and why.
“log in to” or “log into” or “login to”
I can’t think of a good way to express any greater extent of success than “passed”. One option would be “I did really well in the exam”, it does signify more than just passing, however it’s rather inelegant and doesn’t precisely signify 100% success. I’m trying to find a word (preferably a verb) that signifies getting every question of an exam right and therefore scoring 100%.
In contrast, registration successful indicates that the process of moving from an unregistered state to the registered state has been completed. However, if there is more than one way to do this, you may need to define a separate message for each way, or put yourself in a situation where a single message is used for multiple ways. You have been successfully registered and logged in. Personally, I think I’d opt for the latter, submitted successfully. I can’t really say why, but I think that that version puts the emphasis on the word successfully, which is the key word. I know it’s been submitted, and I’m pleased to hear that my submission was successful.
You may edit the question if you feel you can improve it so that it requires answers that include facts and citations or a detailed explanation of the proposed solution. If edited, the question will be reviewed and might be reopened. I want to notify a user when the user has deleted a box successfully. Yes, the use of “sent successfully” is correct because when we talk about sending messages, we only refer to the action of message being sent from our location / email etc. Please include the research you’ve done, or consider if your question suits our English Language Learners site better. Questions that can be answered using commonly-available references are off-topic.
I believe a “clean sweep” always indicates that no matches were lost (though not that no points were dropped). Unfortunately doesn’t explicitly imply a perfect result, and is still a little awkward. I’m a digital copywriter and have fought this battle on a few occasions. But I’ve decided to throw in my hand. Ironic that the instruction at the bottom of this page is ‘Sign up or login’. “You can always change this permission. Log (in on/into) the internal download area.”
But that’s a very subjective opinion. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. Many elegant suggestion here to express doing very well on the exam. But we seem to be struggling to show that the attempt got a perfect score, which the OP seems to be asking for. Given that so much of the web environment isn’t being written by writers who care, I’m increasingly seeing ‘login’ used as a verb. And to be honest, once it’s normalised it will be the correct form.
“Successfully submitted” almost implies only that the information was successfully sent (no surprises there). By this I mean “the information submission was fine, but I don’t know if it will fail in processing.” Please include the research you’ve done, or consider if your question suits our English Language Learners site better. It’s a feature of the language that rare events don’t, as a rule, have a single word to describe them. For a word to gain currency it must be used routinely. A word for a rare event will rarely be used, unless that event is of enormous potential significance (apocalypse ?).
Because after the “logging in” I naturally would do a very short pause before continuing with an emphasis on “in the internal download area”. Depending on the design of your system and its messaging overall, registered successfully would likely be the better choice. Update the question so it’s on-topic for English Language & Usage Stack Exchange.
There are separate features and thus separate messages for such notifications.
Neither Merriam-Webster nor Wiktionary mention it as an alternative successfully outsource software development spelling. The British National Corpus has cites for successful and exactly one for successfull. According to OneLook, 33 dictionaries have an entry for successful, but only Wordnik has a few cites for successfull (without a definition).
Successfully submitted vs Submitted Successfully
Stack Exchange network consists of 183 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers. In a sentence, therefore, “I got full marks in the exam” would be used. For formal usage, though, I would agree with those saying that “I got a perfect score” or “I got full marks” would be the most appropriate. “I nailed that exam” above is also a nice informal solution.
