That's why I think Adobe has made the smart move. They simply use English as the icon, color as the impression. You can guess via the English if you are unfamiliar with the icon. And easy to spot via the color if you already know the icon. Let's say if I forget the characters in the Illustrator icon. But I can recognize the icon is Illustrator because of its orange color.

I think Microsoft was even better, at least on the number of users that recognized the blue W for making documents the e icon to get online, etc. That's how my mom did it, but she would have no idea what Ps, Il, Ae, would mean

If you pass this, a team of medical professionals will be sent to your home to peacefully euthanize you, as it is the only ethical choice to end your suffering.

I sense a business opportunity: Euthanasia as a Service. EaaS. With an API.

I’ve heard google has an alpha version of this for internal use only.

From time to time they let it run loose to clean up their products.

This reminded me of AWS in plain English https://expeditedsecurity.com/aws-in-plain-english/

Most of these are really funny, but I feel like they should have just left out the reasonable ones. There's enough of them that it kind of kills the humor after a certain amount of "actually this one is fine" imo.

And if you arrange the icons right on your task bar, you can make it spell lewd things.

Is this service only available to those who pass the test?
