Their blood pressure didn't soar when they submitted something to Turnitin.

Or Quizlet. Bless Quizlet.

Or the cruelty of the word counter.

They didn't have to shell out a hundred bucks for, like, 14 letters printed on a paper to access their homework.
12.
They didn't spend an afternoon spell-checking an email only to get an "ok."
