On the OT,Since I was a child I have seen most people reach a certain age where looking words up in a close to hand dictionary becomes near-impossible. It's an attitude. Once you finish school, you become a completed adult. From there, looking things up is like admitting that you are not. And yes, I got told the "finished high school, know everything that matters" spiel many times back in the days.
Now we have the internet. Someone can be online asking for help and given links to fully prepared sites chock full of perfectly good and often illustrated explanations that they don't have to get off their... seats... to access, they still demonstrate a failure to even begin to absorb as much as a few terms.
"Here's a plate of food" gets "I can't use a fork, knife or spoon. Feed me.".
I'm happy to say that I have been able to help people not at all like that. If they get stuck and you give them a little help, they figure it out and get going.
It's the others that get me.
But as I note, this is nothing new. It's just that with easy net access we have idiots where we did not before.
Google and wikipedia are dangerous things...
