Sorry for my
ignorance -- but is there someone who can present me
the german term for "affordance"? The web-dicts I searched, don't
know this word -- and the wikipedia entry doesn't give me any clue
about the german word (though I understand the concept).
The problem is that it's not a word. Your understanding of it is
probably the best definition there is ;-)
