A question I was once genuinely asked:

“All the buttons on this computer keyboard are in capitals. How do I get lowercase letters?”

I was tempted to tell them they’d have to requisition a lowercase keyboard from the stationery department.

Then again, this was from the same person who, when I demonstrated cutting and pasting of text in Word, turned to me with eyes widened and jaw slackened to exclaim “That’s amazing!“, as if I’d pulled a live tuxedo-clad porcupine from my nose.

I didn’t even try to introduce them to the web, in case the culture shock caused them to lapse into a coma on the spot.
