Can’t let British people have air conditioning because first they’d call it something twee like “the climate fixer” and then in 20 years they’ll call it “the climb” or “the climmy”
French kids would call it “le climot”, frustrating language officials who would prefer they call it “machine pour le contrôle du climat froide à l'interieure de l'édifice”
I have a client who
communicates exclusively via Microsoft Word.
If she has something
to tell me, I’ll receive an email with nothing in the body, but a Word doc attached. That’s where she writes her message.
Whenever she wants to
email me a photo, she does so via an empty Word doc with said photo set as its
background.
But my favorite thing
was the first time I witnessed her visiting a website. She had me spell the URL
(“W… W… W… dot…”) and with my own two eyes I watched her type it into Word,
made it a hyperlink, and Ctrl click it to go there.
