Internship Wrap-up
The end of the Internship is drawing near at VECO. It has been so great working with VECO. They have been so receptive to all that Andrew and I have done for them and it really makes me feel like I was helpful.
On Wednesday, we will work to finish up the material that we promissed to our boss. We also are working on building a list of suggestions on ways of improving usability on the company's new softwear. I never really thought of Canadian english as being different. In working with the software however, it has become apparent that there are suttle differences.
The differences are not in the sentence structure but lay in the verbage. For example, when we asked our user testers to fill in a form with new information that had been previously been filled out. Testers would regularly overlook the "Clear" button. In asking what they were looking for some noted that there was no "Reset" button.
Word choice plays a large part in usability. While I wish I could remember more words that are different, it will be an interesting day of odd-word hunting on Wednesday.
PS: 12 days to Graduation!!!!! Boo yah!
