Speaking of GUI and user-friendliness, you might consider using
"Continue"
or similar text on the button. For if I can't save my file, it is very
definitely *not* OK!
Sure, but "OK" is a lot shorter and more button-compatible than "OK, if
you insist you useless machine", which is what "OK" implies in this
context. To my mind, "Continue" implies that either the save is going to
be re-attempted, or some other miraculous process is going to step in
and save the day. A suitable alternative to OK might be "Ah Forget It",
which wouldn't exactly be orthodox HIG.
