I decided to cancel the email message I was composing, and my mail program responded with this confirmation dialog box. I actually read it twice and then pressed the Cancel button as an experiment. Pressing Cancel cancels the Cancel operation. OK completes the Cancel operation.

Is it any wonder that people find computers confusing?

Is there anybody who finds OK and Cancel on this dialog less confusing or more informative than Yes and No options?

I’ll ask again: What idiot decided that Yes and No responses to a question should be replaced by OK and Cancel?
