I'll make sure to create a post with a "normal human" user in the future - and contrast formal and informal use case examples of the use case. Thanks Ski, that’s a great point.

using developers “uses” detract from the value
of the exercise.

When writing these use cases, I completely forgot to apply Susan Lilly's <a href="http://tynerblain.com/blog/2006/01/26/top-ten-use-case-mistakes/#comment-162" rel="nofollow">great advice</a> to make sure and define what the system will do in response to the user's actions. This does hilight one of the benefits of using formal use cases - the structure implicitly reminds you to cover all of the important steps. Each of the use cases should include a sentance that says that the system will store the user's identified associations, and present feedback to the user that the information has been stored. Heh.
