At some point you decide to cancel it to do something else. Then, as usual and recommended, a dialog box appears asking you to confirm your decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"622\" height=\"262\" src=\"https:\/\/nico.uno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cancel.jpg\" alt=\"Palabras en UX\" class=\"wp-image-1661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nico.uno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cancel.jpg 622w, https:\/\/nico.uno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cancel-300x126.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nico.uno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cancel-18x8.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The question is clear: <strong>Are you sure you want to cancel?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The options offered to you are: <strong>CANCEL <\/strong>or <strong>CONTINUE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The paradox is that you have to press \u201ccontinue\u201d if you want to cancel and \u201ccancel\u201d if you want to continue. Of course, it can be understood that \u201ccontinue\u201d confirms the cancellation and \u201ccancel\u201d cancels it, but it can also be understood that if you press \u201ccancel\u201d you cancel and if you press \u201ccontinue\u201d you continue. In short\u2026 the mess is guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this is solved by using a more human language. If a friend asks you, \"Would you like a coffee?\" What do you answer? Continue or cancel? XD<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution to the problem is quite simple. We change the response options to a simple \u201cNO\/YES\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don't you think so?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: the image in the post is a real screenshot from Facebook.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing the right words for interaction is vital.
