    Imagine being able to see something universally recognized and not thinking too hard on the connection between a name and the symbology associated with it. Fucking wild concept.

    And your analogy is a poor one considering the sign Stop says the word Stop. If the Stop sign said Go then sure, but trash /=/ recycle

      It’s known as the recycle bin where I’m from as opposed to Apple’s trash because that’s its official name as the symbol denotes. It’s still wild that someone wouldn’t notice it at all, ever. It’s as plain as the nose on your face, or the word stop on a stop sign, which is just 4 symbols bang in the middle.
