My geography teacher thought if you pushed the 3.5mm stereo jack into the speakers harder it would make the volume louder. Lol?

When they think that adding memory is the answer to speeding up a slow computer. To a certain extent but 99% of the time I just find a cluster frack of useless apps clogging it up.
Most computer illiterates I know either call the PC as a whole a hard drive or they think that the HDD is the cause of any issues.
I've just always heard it called the CPU. I go along with it because most people don't care about knowing the the processor is the CPU, and the entire thing is the computer lol.
Or they call it the modem, or think the monitor is the computer (ran into this one a few times at work).
Never had this happen since computers in the classroom didn't exist until AFTER I graduated college!I remember when my old school teachers did something like the following:, "OMG. PC's are rubbish ! always breaking, don't do what you want *closes laptop lid*"
No no no, your just totally incompetent at using a computer - and your trying to make an awkward joke about how PC's are rubbish to cover up your crapness in front of a class full of students.

That's one that gets me as well, though I've never heard one as bad as "hitmil". Mostly I get scuzzy, suzy, sequel and sko (for SCSI, SUSE, SQL and SCO). I don't even care if they are correct either, it just annoys me (I'm getting better about it these days).
