WONDERFUL!
I was copying/pasting the name of a student from a document, and in the copied text, a symbol separated the letters. I pasted it again, using text only this time, and the result was an amazing chain of words: 'Critical Thinking'.
Is this a hack to prevent plagiarism? I LOVE IT!!!

We have a problem with A. It generates an incredible administrative burden. Solution: revise A by creating 3 or 4 concomitant processes (which may or may not be exclusive). Now we no longer have an A problem, we have A-ish, B, C, D and E.
