Aug 20, 2012 at 10:41 comment added Viktor Mellgren @Urbycoz, I don't think it's wrong per se, but as there already exists a word for it which is used in that field (UX) it's better to use it.

Aug 20, 2012 at 9:56 comment added Urbycoz Is it actually wrong to refer to a desire of an inanimate object? It's quite commonplace to transpose human characteristics on objects that can't technically have them.

Aug 20, 2012 at 9:36 comment added J.R. Just to clarify, are you asking for one word that fits both places marked ***, or two different words?
