> Picking good names for confirmation/cancellation buttons is difficult. I’m actually reviewing the ones in the app that I’m writing, now. Some of them are quite weird. Especially egregious when you are confirming a cancellation. I hate when I try to perform an action that is semantically a cancellation, and I am warned of its potentially deleterious effects and then asked "OK" / "Cancel". (Where, of course, "OK" means "OK, cancel", and "Cancel" means the opposite.)
