Our kebab usage guidelines send mixed messages. In the table at the top of our progressive disclosure guide, we say:

Refrain from using this icon as a progressive disclosure solution

But in the "Ellipses [sic] Icon" section, the first bullet under "Caution" reads (emphasis mine):

While visually similar, the ellipses icon is different from the kebab icon, which is used for dropdown menus or general call-to-actions. Be careful not to confuse them for one another.

This PR simply updates the first part in the table to read:

For toggling inline dropdowns and menus

Which I think resolves the inconsistency, but I think we could do better by having a separate section about kebabs and dropdown/menus with do and don't screenshots.
