alan-d Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Calling something a Red Herring when it should read 'White Elephant' That's been bugging me all morning
Hightower Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Calling something a Red Herring when it should read 'White Elephant' That's been bugging me all morning Ah hah, but maybe I meant 'red herring' and people have been replying with the wrong answers all day. A red herring is a decoy basically, something that distracts. Maybe I wanted to know what the costliest distractions were in schools, such as giving each student a slate PC to do work but it distracts the user from actually doing their work....... ...... or maybe I just meant white elephant

"just changed the input" "well I tried that" "did you?! did you really try that? if you really tried that and it didn't work then i'm going to have to change my career to a magician" 1
