True story, about 20-25 years ago, a radio station in my home town was playing ads for some new local business doing web design.
After hearing the ad on my drive to work for the umpteen billionth time I finally got curious and went to check out their own website (I they’re charging people to build websites, they’re own website must be a pretty awesome demonstration of their skills, right?)
The website looked like absolute garbage and, upon viewing the source, the meta tags clearly betrayed the fact that it was created in Word.
I can only imagine how much money they were paying to run those ads. I even considered the possibility I was being pranked somehow.
I’ve had more than one person I work with take screenshots of their desktop, paste them into a word document, then attach the word document to an email to get me to help them with their problem. This has the same energy.
Forgot “Pasting it into a Word document”.
Honest to god, I’ve seen people from the past trying to write html for a website on Word.

I would never paste code into a Word document. I use Notepad++ for that.
