I'm intrigued as to how you did this, and I bet I could google, but I'm more intrigued by the fact that the k is not only backwards but also upside down.
Resorting to googling has decimated much of conversation, IMHO. Nice to see questions asked instead ?

Your point is well made, but way too many people ask super dumb questions waiting for an answer because they are too lazy or too stupid to research on their own.....but yes, there are good conversations still to be had with teaching and learning rather than disconnected googling. ?

Ah yes, the super dumb questions are the lazy side of the contemporary curiosity coin.

Unless the question is less about the information and more about opening a discussion. Most times, we do not know this until after the question is asked and answered.

Oh, I dunno......sometimes it seems rather obvious when someone is being too lazy to simply do a Google search on his or her own -- especially when they make it pretty clear, too, that they're not interested in a discussion, they just want a quick answer and that's it. Unfortunately, too, it can happen that when the answer is not to their satisfaction, they can get a bit ornery, which doesn't help matters and certainly discourages others from offering help to them in the future!

I completely agree. I'm just saying that sometimes it is not as clear as we might think at the outset.
