> This is why I always hated the symbols on a Playstation controller which replaced the traditional letters or numbers... more than one syllable per press makes it painful to quote a sequence aloud. Of course X will always be X but pronouncing 'square' is more awkward than 'Y' imho. Circle, triangle? Ouch.
Heh, also its strange how technology moved from stone age pictographs
through ideographs and eventually phonetic and logographic symbols and
suddenly a couple of millennia into the common era, Steve Jobs is
invented and suddenly everyone wants to go back to pictographs again.
