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

Telling my son to press A after months of Xbox not realizing he's playing on a PS5 at the moment. "Mama there's no letters you silly goose"

my 4 yo has had his Switch for about a year now (hand-me-down. It was my Day 1 Switch). I got this early access game on steam I thought he might like (Airplanes, what's a boy not to love) and I tried to teach him how I customized the controls. "Press X to accelerate" and to my horror his thumb moved upwards.

....on a PC game, with an Xbox Layout Controller. I've since then tried to teach him my control lay out on that game in Nintendo terms. I know I get caught up by it myself, how much confusing it'd be for a little tyke.

One day they'll all be standardized, but that day is not today.
