 “Profile” can be used interchangeably instead of “Account”. One can “create a profile” and “delete a profile” and “follow a profile” without too much mental gymnastics. 

“Sign Event(s)” is a little more of a hurdle, being ephemeral. People are used to “signing in” and staying “signed in” until “signing out”.  The nostr ecosystem is just more complex than this… and the mental burden is unavoidable.   
 Agree on profile. Think we might be on without signing in and out 
 Key managers will help. One could (sort of) “sign in” to a client using a key manager. But this experience is no where near consistent. 

None the less … “sign in” (as a term) is closer to the nostr truth than “log in”. 
 But we’re not “in” anything. Or out 😆 
 We're just using the app with a profile, with or without keys. 
 Yes … 🤔
