Did you know?
- The word ui is also the Dutch word for 'onion', which is a homonym for the English initialism 'UI'.
- In Dutch technical writing, there is a tension between using the 'Anglicism' interface and the older, purer term grensvlak, which literally means 'border surface'.
- In Dutch, the 's' in gebruikersinterface acts as a linking 's' (tussen-s), a grammatical requirement to join two nouns that does not exist in English.
