I'm not understanding what the problem is, perhaps Dan can elaborate.

I'm also not understanding this opinion either. Without seeming
condescending, I don't get how you could get mixed up between a bin (trash

seem intuitive enough. The only one IMHO that is not so intuitive is the
'Report Spam' one, but my brain learnt that one pretty quickly.
