Scenario
After a user attempts to submit a form I am providing validation messages against any invalid fields. On one of those fields the user has gone over the max allowed character count.
Example
I have a text box called 'keyword' and it has a limit of 100 characters but they input 110, what is the best language to use to tell them what has gone wrong?
I have some examples below, is there better language to use?
- "Keyword must not exceed 100 characters"
- "Keyword must be no longer than 100 characters"
- "Keyword can be at most 100 characters"
