There is a long build-up around why I keep dropping by this place on the far
side of the city to reclaim a printer cable that was "borrowed for
longer" when I picked up the rest of the equipment, but I'll save that story for later.
When I reclaimed my cable (there a good bit
of back and forth between us) and the borrower finally decided that she might need to go
out and buy herself one so she could return the borrowed one. She asked
what she needed to buy and I said "An A to B USB printer cable." There was more discussion about where to get them and whether or not printer cables
are of a standard configuration. Now remember, this as a verbal-only
exchange, as in phone tech support to some far away land. Her question to me was, "How do you spell USB?"
As far as I could ascertain, I kept a professional face and demeanor
as I spelled it to her, slowly.
