Re: The 'user' in User Manual

I was thinking more about how I'd react if I was asked that
in a job interview (which I presume would have been verbal).
If someone has asked me a question about a "di-ectic"
pronoun (or a "di-ectic" anything else, for that matter), my 
guess is that my engineer-trained brain would have exploded 
trying to figure out how a pronoun could be a dielectric or 
how we'd gotten off onto a discussion about eu-iectic
morphology

But it's also been at least 40 years since my grammar
lessons (in grammar-school), so frankly, "deictic"
would probably have gotten me as well.  

I think I would have struck out no matter which way it
went.

Probably because you didn't recognize that she meant "deictic"...
