Today my projects required me to use both InDesign and QuarkXPress, and I began to feel a little bit bilingual. I can’t claim to be bilingual in any other sense, but I’ve noticed that those who are truly bilingual will sometimes have moments of forgetting that they’re speaking one language and use a word from a different language: forgetting to translate into the intended language.

Which of course is what happened to me all day. I was focused on what I wanted to happen (or communicate), and forgot that the tool required me to choose a tiny menu off the side of a palette, instead of a submenu off a menu in the menu bar. I can almost feel my mind expanding.
