My wife started a new job a few years ago, and during training she was shown how to create invoices.

  1. Open the excel template
  2. Fill inn the items, and the prices
  3. Sum all posts USING THE DESKTOP CALCULATOR …

She was completely dumbfounded.

I wouldn’t equate that to not realising you can let the shower warm up. Not even close.

I’m a professor and require students to submit typed homework as either docx or pdf format - a student wrote their paper in Word, took a screenshot of it (including their desktop), then saved the screenshot in pdf format.

Please tell me that you at least showed the student that you can save a word doc as a pdf.

Yeah I know that one but in this case it was pretty clear it wasn’t plagiarized.

I’ve seen pdfs with just a photo of a monitor showing an error message.

Don’t correct the trainer and reap the benefits, I guess… ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The best thing about Excel is the look of hatred you get when using ctrl+; in front of someone who’s been manually entering the date through their entire career.
