Question: "Name and explain a commonly used technique that allows you to quickly and easily make use of long technical terms in a document."
Not a difficult question, but let me now put down what my creative 'answer' was.
Answer: "By referring to the text as a technical document, wherein long and meaningless terms are commonplace, and will be perfectly acceptable to the reader, who won't really understand the text involved anyway. This technique is called discombobulation."
After assuring myself that the above answer was perfectly suitable, and might indeed fool the markers, I moved on. But, as things would have it, the true answer returned to my mind minutes before the end of the testing period. The right answer, of course, was to use macros. After sadly scratching out the above, I put in my new answer and received full marks. But I still think the other one was better; perhaps not technically, but certainly alot more amusing.
