Flat design is "Platymorphic"

[cleo1]

Maybe it's the dev in me—proper syntax, concatenation are important (crucial in coding, not so much in spoken language). It's an important topic and deserves a proper title. Please, before 'flatomorph' catches on as I fear it may already have.

As in fish? Fish-morphic?

This thread, like the other one, will quickly turn into a bunch "random"-morphic posts (if it hasn't already).

The flatomorph thread is literally the only thing on the internet using the term. I don't think "catching on" is something we need to worry about.

You never know, things on the interwebs spread like wildfire

Very funny. That would be "ichthyomorphic"

Hopefully not. Greek is a simple, highly concatenated language. There is really only one way to say most things. In this case, 'platymorphic' is the ONLY proper term.

FYI, Apple is not a Greek company.

Bahahaha, I laughed out loud at that. Too bad they don't have an acronym for that action.

That hasn't stopped people from using Greek terms to describe Apple's design choices. Cleo is simply keeping up continuity.

Platymorphic? What does "platy-" even mean?

After thinking about it for about five minutes, it finally occurred to me that it probably means "flat" as in plateau. But really, I think that root won't be instantly recognizable to many people. Can we just stick to "flat design"?
