Today during a writing conference, a freshman comp student blinked in confusion when I asked her to “take me to your word processor.”
I tried again. “Open up a blank page so I can write something.”
That made perfect sense to her, and we moved on.
My intention is not to mock her. She is a smart and capable student, who apparently had never needed a term to describe “a tool for composing, editing, and storing documents.”
