Heard a teacher at the library say 'there's no such thing as a stupid question, only unasked ones'
I was grabbing a coffee at the downtown library cafe yesterday and overheard a tutor working with a high school student. The kid was hesitant to ask something, and the tutor just said that line. It made me realize I hold back on this forum sometimes because I think my question might be too basic. But that's the whole point of 'Ask Anything', right? Has anyone else had a moment where they almost didn't post a question but were glad they did?

Wait, isn't that quote backwards?

Beth just pointed out the whole thing is upside down! Classic mix-up, like putting your shoes on the wrong feet. Now I can't unsee it, and the original meaning is totally lost. Someone must have had a long day when they typed that out.

Oh man, I once read a whole manual like that before noticing!
