I had a problem with my computer yesterday, so I called Eric, the 11-year-old kid next door.
Eric clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem. As he was walking away, I called after him, “So, what was wrong?”
He replied, “It was an ID ten T error.”
I didn’t want to appear stupid, but I still asked, “An ID ten T error? What’s that?”
Eric grinned. “Haven’t you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?”
“No.”
“Write it down,” he said, “and I think you’ll figure it out.”
So I wrote it down: ID10T
And I used to like Eric, the little bastard.
