User interfaces like this that try to be all "relatable" in a cutesy, cultivated-marketing-identity manner really rub me the wrong way. I've taught ESL and I've studied other languages and this is really frickin' obnoxious for folks who aren't native speakers. Cut it out, tech companies.#UI #UX #design

@emerican someone I know once described it as "I wish websites would stop acting like they just dropped a fork"

@theoutrider @emerican This is one of my pet hates . I shouldn't have to parse American slang for 12 year olds to get what your shitty app is telling me. Just say what you mean and stop talking like a brain damaged anime

@emerican to be fair, only one tech company is this consistently obnoxious

@theoutrider @emerican This whole "le dank memes spoopy doot doot xd" ironic meme talk was popular back in 2015 and Discord built their entire personality around it to make themselves cooler with the gamer kids. Now though it's just old.They might as well start using rage comics in their promos.

@emerican companies trying to be "cool and relatable" just end up making themselves look cringy

@emerican "Are you sure?" and one of the options is "cancel". You're right, nearly impossible to parse out.

@gunt: The point, ultimately, is usability. I don't complain about Russian sites. And, oh, wait, I can figure out Cancel and Yes on those too.
