On my tablet, I'm importing a lot of contacts - it's a long story - and it seems to have locked up on one of them. So...tap the "importing Sue..." notification in the messages bar and it gives me the option to cancel the import:
Cancel Import of Sue blah blah.vcf?

Ignore it and the problem will go away on its own. Eventually. Maybe.

Similar to what I heard during my first visit to the US about fifteen years ago - "It ain't not work". Will it work? Will it not? Not sure (to me). "It ain't not happen". Will it happen? Or not? Have never visited the UK, so am not sure of this usage there. But, the English taught in India (in my childhood days, more than 35 years ago) didn't have such usages.

I have a coworker who is brilliant (seriously), but he has this annoying habit of using negative logic: if (!TestNotPassed) // it worked! I have to be very careful when reading his code.

With the first one cancelling the cancellation, and the second cancelling the operation. Except in Arabic countries where the buttons should be reversed.

I've seen this with previous colleagues as well. Found it véry annoying. I had the impression they want to look clever and construct code that was hard to read so they would appear more techy like, or something.

(MQOTD rules and previous solutions) -
shouldn't the Ok button (or the yes) be on the left and the Cancel button (or the no) on the right ? :~

(MQOTD rules and previous solutions)Perhaps "Abort" on the left, and "Like" on the bottom? :laugh:
