naming things definitely isn't there strong point
having to click the "start" button to shut down your computer is probably the most illogical one. and somehow it managed to stay that way for 15 years until someone got the bright idea to just but an icon there instead
"microsoft windows phone 7 series" was a mouth full compared to "apple iphone". luckily they changed that soon after but its crazy to think of the amount of people that were involved in that project and none of them spoke up about how stupid the name sounded
a recent one is the app "your phone". it just doesn't sound right. i imagine it would be even more awkward when someone has to search the term. "hey google, my your phone isnt working"
windows security centre changes its name every year. I could go on
- com2kid 7y agoAs I like to point out, on macOS you click on an icon of literal fruit to shutdown the computer. The first time Win95 was started, a giant arrow pointed to the start button. It was rather discoverable. Now Win8, I had to look up how to shut it down, the rtm version was a UX disaster.
