Ah, I see. That's a fair point! I hadn't considered the difficulty of language choice when it comes to non-US computer users. Thank you for sharing your experience! But I should clarify that I wasn't even thinking about terminology when I mentioned skeuomorphic design. I meant things like how the "trash" on the desktop looked like a physical trash can, how the "save" button looked like a floppy disk, how the calendar app was meant to look like a physical calendar, etc. The system was designed (visually, I should say) to remind people of their physical offices so they could more easily interact with a computer when they had no prior context for it. But over time, we have moved away from these physical allusions because people have simply become familiar with computers.
