People on English Language & Usage will see the question came from here so it's increasing awareness of this site, just as you are now aware of that one now. Overall we all benefit by finding that there are experts in many fields all throughout stack exchange. And also you are entitled to visit that site and flag the question for migration back to here should you desire, and it'll go through the same process as occurred with it here. Perhaps they will agree with you that here is the better place after all? | |

Don't forget there is good, useful information across all stackexchange sites and many people are members of many of them. You can get a good all round understand of problems by visiting many of them rather than only ux - just as developers can gain a better understand of problems by visiting this site rather than just StackOverflow. | |

I'm not on other stacks, and the author never would have received my (chosen) answer to the question, which came from a UX mindset. By moving the question, you changed the type of responder the author was going to hear from. Stands to reason if they wanted English language experts to answer the question they would have started there. | |

The language on labels is one of the most important UX decisions to make. The author of the question came to ask UX designers what they would use. Moving it to an English language stack might lend them a more academic answer that comes from the viewpoint and doesn't take into account user interaction. | |
