Radha asks:
Hi,

I'd like to know what you folks out there prefer.
"user-interface" or "user interface"?

Thanks.

How about avoiding this jargon? Presuming that you are writing about
software, why not use the words _screen_ or _menu_ instead? It may sound
old-fashioned, but at least all your readers will know what you are
referring to and the techno-phobes will feel a bit more comfortable.

Just my humble opinion!
