If you use wordy and convoluted questions such as > "Are you sure you want to quit without saving" then nothing can help the poor users. Of course, they are also susceptible to mistranslation. The fix is brevity and clarity, not banning Yes and No. The question Does 2+2 equal 5? is not improved by buttons labels ‘It is five’ and ‘It is some other number’. Hence > "Are you sure you want to quit without saving ?" > > Should typically have the answers: "Save" "Quit" is nonsense. This question should not occur in a sensible GUI no matter what answers are offered.
