people who have absolutely no clue what they're
doing.
• Just like what I'm doing here (on purpose), where
I'm just reading off the page, even though it would
be faster if you just read it yourself. Also, a smaller
font size than usual shows the often-made mistake.

of PowerPoint or looking for something
better to do.
• The default animation and new, 'fresh'
idea are selling points.
• The second-most-used medium for bad
