Deleting & Clearing

    Reading this chapter made me think of MOUT (Military operations on urbanized terrain). I thought, deleting the enemy & clearing the room. What a perfect topic to choose, I said. When entering a building you want to delete any bad guys and clear the building for any remaining threat.

    This relates to Excel because sometimes you want to remove information from spreadsheets. You can delete cells or cell contents. Another option for removing data is clear, which is found on the home tab which will clear contents but leave the cells and their formatting.

    From crayon eating grunts to cubicle hunchback desk-job workers, deleting and clearing anything applies to many aspects of our lives. While I may not be a fan of the second one, I sure do miss the first one... sometimes.

Technology Has Made You Illiterate

    As you text your friend you try to spell the word "synonyms" but instead of typing it correctly you spell cinnamon's. Autocorrect doesn't pick up on this because you spelled cinnamon correctly but now your sentence doesn't make sense. Although it might sound similar you're comfortability has made you lazy and hoped that autocorrect will do its thing. As sweat runs profusely from your armpits you freeze in fear and google how to spell it. 

    AutoCorrect is a tool to that catches most common typing errors, it comes in handy and is used on many platforms. You'll realize you made a typing error usually when the word is underlined in red, if not the program will most often correct it automatically for you.

    Point of the blog is, learn to spell. If you're the type of person to do what I exampled in the first paragraph, then maybe you have to go back to fifth grade, or just have technology as your crutch.
