Pre-Archaic Industrial Jargon

[Larry Sheldon]

Do you know how to type?

How do you "Set the margins"?

To where do you "return the carriage" and when?

What does "Double Spaced" mean and how is it usually accomplished?

What do "CC:" and "BCC:" mean, and in what way do they cause you to
modify your behavior?

What does "Attn:" mean?

How about "Attach."?  In what ways does that differ from "Enc."

And lastly, what happens when you make a mistake?
