Is it generally accepted that affordance can work in a negative way as
well? I occasionally come across a web site that mixes in some sort of
salient text (usually colored and underlined) that fools me into thinking
they're links, when in fact, they aren't.
I agree with David's definition, but given the frustrating experience I
described, I may tweak it to read:
"A property in which the physical characteristics of an object or
environment allude to a function."
