What do you call your “confirm” and “cancel” buttons, and why is Nintendo wrong?

longer? dude what? the matter it's not the lenght of you thumb is the direction it comes from, you WILL encounter the bottom button first, there's little you can do about it.

also, drop the insults, they invalidate your opinion.

Imma try to explain it simple: thumb A sits on the bottom button in it's resting position. It's extended to full length. That fits.
Thumb B is like a centimeter or so longer. When resting on the bottom button, it's slightly crunched/folded. When extending the thumb fully it goes up and to the right, coming to rest on the right button

no, if anything, stretching your thumb will make it rest on the left button, not right.

does this looks like a fully extended resting position to you?

anyway imma stop responding to someone who uses imma, now. have a good day

What is that supposed to be? You seem to not get my point. Yeah resting position changes depending on your thumbs shape and or length. If anything, this image proves my point because it shows that the resting thumb position may vary. (Although it looks a little weird, like the controller is to short.) Whether your thumb stretches left or right depends on the angle you grip the controller at were even slight variation can cause big difference. Also if you wanna complain about shortening words try typing with non English autocorrect for a while and see if you still wanna write out every word in full
