Dad talked a lot about bad design when we were growing up, you know, "Bad design is just people not thinking, John," he would say whenever a kid would be injured by a rotary lawn mower or, say, a typewriter ribbon would get tangled or an eggbeater would get jammed in the kitchen.
O meu pai falava muito de mau "design", costumava dizer: "John, o mau 'design' acontece porque as pessoas não pensam "se uma criança se pode magoar num cortador de relva "ou se a fita da máquina de escrever fica emaranhada "ou se uma batedeira se avaria na cozinha.
