Actually Cancel/OK is backwards. :)

I had to swap their positions in firefox - one of the first things I changed when I ran it for the first time.

> "OK" can be construed to mean "OK, well then obviously don't do that!"

And yes can be construed to mean "yes don't do that" - come on, that's a completely ridiculous argument!



"OK" can mean: "ok yes you've changed my mind, I agree, bad idea".

"Cancel" never means: "cancel and proceed".


"Do you really want to cancel?" Cancel/OK


Double clicking a "No" button should mean yes, of course.
