The ‘Cancel’ Key
Day #1 at work can only be described by displaying a shot of my calendar, which has eight days filled out over the next few weeks already, promising more to come tomorrow.
I’d upload it but I’m too lazy to get out of bed and use a real computer or find out how to send it to Flickr from my phone.
Nothing much to say, only I now have to unlearn all my years of education in British English and past two years of magazine-writing in the same, to match the U.S. house style of my new work site.
This is a much, much larger deal to my minute capacity for change than it might appear.
In other news, there are still people who can’t find popular keys on the keyboard such as ‘any’:
SB: Can you fix my parents’ computer? They’re IT dummies and don’t know the next thing about technology.
Me: Okay. *tinkers for a while…* When this window shows up, you have to cancel it.
SB: Ohhh. Where’s the ‘cancel’ key?





wait, there is no cancel key?
see, exactly my point!
The cancel is there! Right beside the “OK” key
it’s more a cancel BUTTON than a key. if i will allow myself to be so pedantic. :D
