Web Savvy
I got a phone call today from someone who wanted to verify the e-mail adress Web updates should be sent to. So I recited the standard spiel about how questions and large projects should go to webmaster and day-to-day updates should go to webwork and be instantly added to our queue. It was all normal until...
CALLER: So, how do you spell that address?
ME: Ummm, W-E-B-W-O-R-K-
CALLER: at... W-P-I slash E-D-U?
ME: Uh, yeah. W-P-I dot E-D-U
CALLER: OK, thanks.
I know it's not nice to laugh at people who are less knowledgable, but I could barely contain myself. The caller sounded technically literate at the start of the call and by the end was grasping at straws.
