>>Dear Users,
I understand that the phrase you keep using as an excuse may be the truth. The blatant, honest truth. This does not make it a valid excuse. Stop using these words, strung together in this order:
"I'm computer illiterate."
We'll gloss over the fact that this phrase is technically incorrect, as computers are not fucking books or a kind of reading. The word "illiterate" does not apply. The phrase you actually should say is "I'm not well-educated in how to use a computer." I digress.
My beef is that you would never, ever use this kind of excuse at any other job. <<
Hit the link. Read the rest. It's well worth it.
