I appreciated your comments throughout this thread. Symbol language works better in the longer term. When there's consensus about the icon functionality, they work. Look at traffic signs in Europe. They barely contain text. In the USA, they contain text all the time. In a large country where the main language is English this makes sense. In a continent consisting of many languages (and tourism), its important to have consensus on symbols instead. What does suck is converting to symbols from text whilst you're used to text. That's the legacy of backwards compatibility.
