I think that the problem with "prototype" is that it means different things

language like C++, a prototype is what we might call a "proof of concept."
They use it to validate the basic architecture and tools. Actually, Alan

As I understand it, the term "yo" comes from "you." It was pretty common in
the Bronx when I was a kid.
One of the problems in English is the lack of a distinctive plural for
"you." We use the same word for both one and many people. For example:
I gave flowers to you because you are my love.

Here is how I think of it, Jeff.
Usability is a dimension of design. I like the construct of useful, usable

Each of these dimensions has associated with it various tool and techniques.

I like the idea of using illumination as a secondary clue.
In English, of course, both on and off start with the letter "o" and some

Mental models are extremely important in understanding how people approach a
product, what their expectations are, and in predicting how they are likely
