Abstract
If HCI was like French, we would be emphasising the right ways of speaking to complex systems. In French itself, we learn how to speak, read and understand another human language. We might, as we became fluent, be interested in different dialects like the variations between Microsoft and Apple systems. If HCI was French, it would help lots of people communicate with devices and have more fulfilled lives interacting better.
