Laatst kwam onderstaande melding langs.
Op de een of andere manier voelt het niet oké om zo'n knop te zien, en dan hebben we het niet over het feit dat het antwoord in de knop niet mooi aansluit op de melding/vraag. Wat is hier aan de hand? De Secretarisvogel is met een wijs persoon om de tafel gaan zitten en die kwam tot de volgende conclusie.
Computergebruikers zijn al sinds de opkomst van de personal computer gewend te klikken op knoppen waar 'OK' in staat. Als je daar ineens 'Oké' van maakt, werkt dat ontregelend, ook voor mensen die weten dat dit eigenlijk de correcte Nederlandse spelling is. Het gaat hier niet langer om de juiste spelling, het gaat om het woordbeeld.
Niet dat de gemiddelde computergebruiker nu zo dom is, het gaat erom dat hij wil doen wat hij wil doen – hij wil niet nadenken over de vraag waarom er ineens iets anders op een knop staat. Geheel in de trant van het boek Don't Make Me Think – A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability van Steve Krug.

Ingezonden brief
Uit 2600: The Hacker Quarterly
Dear 2600:
I'm seeking help in cracking a fascist government website known as myanmar.com and tharkinwe.com. These are the propaganda sites of the most vile government on the planet and they should not be representing the people of Burma. Kindly, please guide me in finding assistance in cracking these websites.

First off, we strongly suspect the second site is part of the opposition, not the government. This illustrates one risk of blindly lashing out at websites that supposedly represent your enemies: sometimes you get it wrong and wind up hurting those you're trying to help. But the real reason why simply shutting down or attacking these sites is ultimately pointless is that it keeps the real issues from being addressed. Rather than silence those views you find to be repellent, let the world see exactly what they're saying and use another forum to tear it to pieces. Shutting down dissenting views is a tactic used by oppressive governments worldwide. Resorting to these methods yourself doesn't convince anyone of how wrong they are and likely will even win them some support. We find that often the best way to win a fight is to simply let the other side speak.
