Right,

The problem (where it can and does arise) is one in which either:

(a) the concept doesn't lend itself well to iconification (Apple's
somewhat horrifying example of dragging ejectable media to the
trashcan to eject the media); or

(b) the icon itself isn't well-thought out and/or drawn (I seem to
recall an absolutely mystifying icon in, I think it was, Microsoft
Paint which occupied the space of my fingernail and had on it
something like a line to suggest the horizon, a cactus and a
funky-looking arrow?  Even my students had to wait for the tooltip for
that one!).

Iconically yours,

Judy

Communication is not just verbal.  I knew no Swedish when I arrived in
Stockholm for graduate studies at the University's Institute for
English Speaking Students; but I had little problem understanding the
symbols directing foot and vehicle traffic on city streets and the open
road.
