I learned a new Notes term from an end-user today...
Category IBM/Lotus
The last couple of weeks have been rather harried, and today was no exception. Around 11:15 or so, I got a call from a user about a Notes application I inherited during a staff shuffle. Since I haven't had a whole lot of experience with that particular app, I started a Sametime session so she could show me how she was getting this particular error. So far, so good...
She goes into the application, calls up a particular view, and then clicks on the view line that has the document she's processing. That's when I got the lesson in Notes terminology. She hadn't "selected" a document in the view, nor had she "highlighted" a document in the view...
She had used the "Where's Waldo?" to highlight and select the document to process. :)
It made my attempts to use the term "twistie" look rather lame.

The twistie reference was more in terms of trying to tell someone that "twistie" is indeed the technical term for the expand/collapse arrow, and that I wasn't just making that up or making fun of them.
