Heading for login sections should not start with regist-something words

Today I noticed that while coding one page I caught myself on not seeing the login section form. I also realized that my mistake was connected with the heading the login section had. The header was “Registered users”. I did not read the whole heading at first and because of this I assumed that the section with header starting with Reg-something is about signing up (registering) and not about loging in.

So, the conclusion states that as users scan through the headings, the choice of a first word in that heading makes a great difference. The importance of this exaggerates especially when opposed things use words that (while not read carefully) might be perceived as the ones labeling the other thing.
