PDF: Please Don’t Fuss

Me: “Do you have a PDF file?”

Customer: “That’s redundant!”

Me: “I’m sorry?”

Customer: “PDF stands for ‘printable document file.'”

Me: “Sir, I’m sorry but PDF stands for ‘portable document format.'”

Customer: “No, it doesn’t! It’s ‘printable document file!'”

Me: “One moment please.”

(I open up a browser, look up “PDF”, and turn the computer monitor around for him to see.)

Me: “Sir?”

Customer: *leaves without saying another word*
