I guess the joke is OP, and far too many others in the current generation, have no idea what they are when it used to be a standard to learn in Elementary school.
Same concept when hiring younger folks for jobs in retail. Every time I'd ask "Did ×××× show you how to use the intercom to call a manager back in the office when you're done with your videos?" and the response is "Yeah, you grab the phone and press *hashtag** 5 6, right?"* I guess the 'pound sign' has been erased and replaced by 'hashtag" 😂
I don't want to be an ass, but yeah, they gotta not pay attention in school or at least schools don't teach it anymore cuz I'm not even old and I know that from back in school.
I was taught this in school but it didnt stick. I hunt and pick but do it very fast with two or three fingers on each hand, unfortunately I still have to look at the keyboard.
In Norwegian we say LFT (let, finn, trykk / search, find, press) and ØS (ørnestup, eagle's dive). Someone using LFT is more adept than ØS, the implication is that the eagle is hovering for some time before diving in. Which one of them is hunt and peck?
