Use Your Words

[warren46]

I am tired of trying to figure what so many obscure Icons mean.  Why cant people who write instruction books, automatic machine, and other devices us their words.  A simple written instruction would make much easier to understand what is intended.

Maybe Warren is speaking about folks using acronyms, Roxie.

"Use Your Words" is what I tell my grandson everyday but he is only 16 months old.  He does try real hard though. ;)

I understand the reasoning but why not use words and and an Icon if necessary.
