Never use the word "Cancel" in a warning dialog.
It is easy to get confused. Cancel what? Cancel Bluetooth? Cancel the turning off of Bluetooth?
Better are two buttons like this: [Keep Bluetooth running] [Disable Bluetooth].
Mac OS does this often right. I say this somewhat grudgingly.

- nightowl_games 3y agoCancel maybe better than that because the confused user doesn't know what the current state of the system is. Cancel means "don't do anything". "Keep" implies the same thing, but I think cancel would confuse less grandparents.
