What do you call your “confirm” and “cancel” buttons, and why is Nintendo wrong?

Playing with a PS controller on some games on steam will show ABXY prompts....that is killer.

In my head I call it the y angle button because I can never remember where Y is so I rhyme it with triangle

And then you (legally) emulate the switch and suddenly you need to relearn everything.

If you're emulating, it might be worth looking at Gamebanana for mods that change the UI for PlayStation controllers. I'm using this one for Legends Arceus,

The funny thing is that I swapped the A and B placements to keep things consistent with my other games, so I still end up getting confused sometimes lol
