I recently went into a retail store to purchase a laptop - I had to buy one and didn't give myself enough time for purchasing online. I asked the assistant which ones had a SSD drive - she told me they all did. 'All of them?' I asked. 'Oh yes, she said'. I smiled and walked out. I'm sure she thought I meant 'hard drive' and used a funny word for it, but if you're selling laptops and don't know what SSD means - well, what's the point of shopping there?

Similar story I can't help share. I went into Home Depot and asked for a piece of two by four to be cut to 38 7/8" length. The guy doing the cutting had to come and ask me what exactly 7/8ths of an inch looked like on a tape measure. It's the really small tick marks, right? I told him the really small ones are 16ths, and pointed to where the tape needed to go for 38 7/8". You can bet I measured that piece of wood after he'd cut it.
