90% of people using a computer right now do so because the computer provides something they want and what they want can be achieved with the mouse/touchscreen, at a reasonable rate for them. Click this. Swipe that. Tap out a facebook/twitter post. Gratuitous use of autocorrect. These are the reality of that 90%. Don't let your impatience lead you to treat these people poorly. Let them learn by example. If you're sure they'll see the value in a shortcut then go for it but back the fuck off if they don't respond well.

> Gratuitous use of autocorrect. Or the one that drives me crazy; the user sees a squggly-line under a word early in the sentence they have just typed. To back-up to correct it they use backspace to erase the entire sentence back to that word, correct it and then re-type everything again, laboriously slowly. I have to rise from my seat and look out the window whilst they do so.
