Sardo is about as close to Latin as Italian, Castilian, and Catalan.

BTW Sardo is actually not one language, but a set of languages spoken in the island.

Calling an executable "Software Manager" is legal, but it's also inconsistent with other executables.

In this case the executable is "mintinstall" and it could have been called software-manager or softwaremanager.

You are right, the human readable name is generally different from the internal name, but the internal name should be invisible to a GUI user.

Here the problem is that the name of the executable has made its way to the GUI.

This is perhaps why these things don't get fixed. A Linux user does not see this as a problem.

This is a problem for someone who is not a Linux user.

Most users will not actually see the problem. They will just find the system clunky to use. They will not be able to point at what makes it clunky, let alone fix it themselves.

IMO we are seeing that form sells more than function. MAC and Win 8 are a prime suspect.

I am seeing UIs that look nice but are difficult to use for a fully able user, let alone a user with some kind of disability.

I am guessing that 14% = color blind + users with cataract + various other visual impairments.

You usually can't have a design that makes all of them happy at once.

For example, high contrast UI themes often leave large white areas on the screen that users with glaucoma find blinding, but other users like a lot.
