And if your students vote for this too, perhaps we can make Ai more transparent.An error occurred while saving the comment What a great discussion! I personally can’t agree with you completely and I have my reasons for this.
I deal with English every day, but I am a foreigner, and had to learn this 'alien system' intentionally, in order to be able to talk with people all over the world and be able to understand the media that uses it. I think you can still see in the way I build phrases :)
But this give me an opportunity to see this language as it is, a bunch of fossilized exceptions, weird rules, peculiar inclusions — but alive enough to be learn and taught, ever changing and malleable. I don’t say it’s a unique skill and it requires learning different languages. Still I use this approach to analyze and scrutinize everything, which is handy as a designer’s perk.
And pure purism is a dead end, Leon, I am sure of it :)
I have no guesses about your native language, but let’s look at the comment you’ve given.Specialized terms, slang, jargon is normal to have. And when for you 'leading' means a broader 'using lead', for me it’s a term that now means only 'controlling space between lines of text' (OK, maybe also 'assembling stained glass windows', but you can feel the context is extremely unmatching). Nothing else now is called 'leading', and the word is not worse than anything else, on the contrary, it’s extremely specific. Not self-explanatory — but narrow.
You say 'execute' is better than 'expand'? Wait, doesn’t it mean 'kill' or something? ...and why my pages are not 'stylish' when 'styles' are used?
By the way — you don’t put spaces around em dashes, why? Because of the tradition.
Why 'em dash', and not the 'long bar' or 'mega-hyphen'? Tradition.
Why 'space'? 'Space bar' is a button, why doesn't it control this particular 'space'? What, it’s some kind of different space? The one that is cosmos, no? Maybe be should call it 'horizontal quantized space bar' instead?
Wait, why 'horizontal'? There is no horizon in this media.
'Space after' — does it mean 'after the word next to it' (why 'next'?) or 'below'? Why not say 'space below' then? Tradition.
Inches — why? Tradition.You type these using a keyboard, which is highly probable to have shifted rows — why? Tradition, formerly caused by natural reasons, to house real mechanical levers below keys. Why these are not forgotten still, why do these keyboards still exist, why not phased out?
Because evolution is not quantized, things don’t evolve in sessions. New generations overlap existing ones, and never get taught solely by books (which one can’t read if they don’t learn the language of their outdated ancestors with weird terms).You can’t command the language, it evolves naturally. Sure, it does not mean revisions should not happen, and history knows many examples of forced changes, that were later (much later!) adopted and now are standards. But most of the times it leads to this: https://xkcd.com/927/
Ideas are tenacious, as life is. See, bacteria and amoeba are still here :)I know, all of this long rant is specifically provoking and far-fetched, but just I wanted to make the notion more clear, that’s it.
Terms are hard, default values are hard, culture is hard. Making changes is hard.
Teaching is hard. And a reply I usually give to those who ask me 'Why is it still called that in the 21st century' is 'Because there are not enough reasons to call it otherwise'. When I am lazy or tired, I respond with 'Because that's how it's historically' :)Why XD uses other terms and is fine with that? I guess XD is just new (still) and thus has less bounds to use 'older words'. Or it can be the dumbification, which is a separate topic.
Anyway, thanks for raising this up, Leon.
An error occurred while saving the comment The idea of renaming the 'Screen' preset in 'Document Raster Effect settings to something less imperative, like 'Default' or 'Low', is a good one, actually... InDesign was able to replace their 'Master pages' with 'Parent pages' (creating enough discussions and confusion for the time being). Perhaps this change, although it will make a large amount of training materials imprecise, could lead to less confusion in future.
As for changing the actual 72 into something else — huh, no. This is rooted much deeper than just in Illustrator, and changing this only here will create more problems than solve.
So it’s up to you and other teachers to explain students this and the reasons behind having it in the first place :)

An error occurred while saving the comment Shaukath, is this still a question you need an answer for?
I am not sure exactly what you mean? Can you please share some examples of what you are trying to achieve? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Derek, Illustrator allows to make some layers to be displayed in Outline mode, while having others rendered in Preview mode — but again, at layers level only, not for separate objects within.
To do that, you have to open Layers panel and Cmd/Ctrl+click an eye icon next to a layer’s name — or open the Layer Options dialog and uncheck the Preview option.
Does it solve the problem for you?
Do you really need the same functionality for specific objects?
If yes — can you share some examples where having it can benefit the workflow? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Lisa, what format do you use to save these files? AI of PDF? if PDF — what preset exactly? do you have the 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' option enabled?
Do you have something with non-100% transparent on these pages?
Which version are you using? -

An error occurred while saving the comment I am told the only component that makes the OS to create this Web Content process is the Illustrator’s Comments panel. So if you are not using it — killing it should not affect you.
I myself would say there are other panels in Ai which depend on some online content, like Libraries, Version History... but no, as for today it's this one only.An error occurred while saving the comment The developers are aware of this and are investigating the root of the problem.
The initial observation seems to point at some deprecated API behavior in older Mac OS version. They suggest trying upgrading to later version of OS at the moment to see if it gets fixed.Łukasz, what OS version are you using?

An error occurred while saving the comment Mick, this is a very broad and blurry request.
Can you please help to make it less so?
Which brush do you mean at all? a blob brush? a pattern / calligraphic / art /scatter / bristle? All of them? Which changes you make get reverted, when, at which point? It does no do that for me, and I’ve never seen any complaints about this, except this one you made. What is happening exactly? -

An error occurred while saving the comment We can hover over the input to see the full path displayed, but it’s an extra operation, and info like this doesn’t really hold in memory.

An error occurred while saving the comment Łukasz, does checking 'Let me use a different input method for each app window' and changing the input language for the active Illustrator window via the language bar, as the the latest comment in the topic you shared suggests, help?
An error occurred while saving the comment Very much yes.
I had to build custom Autohotkey script to mitigate this. -

An error occurred while saving the comment You were able to reverse a path direction from the Attributes path, true, BUT only when it was a part of a compound path. But now it is available from the menu for any path. This used to be new when I commented on it :)
An error occurred while saving the comment You can simply change one by Object > Path > Reverse Path Direction (pretty new, I admit).
As for the displaying — you have my vote. Corel does it right by displaying both starting point and direction.
