Use Your Words
« on: October 16, 2016, 03:44:56 PM »
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.

They do that so they don't have to write the instructions in 500 different languages.

"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.
