One place translated it as "I will not sell substandard copper".

Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.
'Serenity'

Oh, I love me some cuneiform. But the beauty of wax is exactly that you can wipe it clear and reuse it over and over again, perfect for scratching out interim calculations and scribbling different versions of the same idea to get the wording right.
"I will not sell substandard copper" over and over again sounds like a Bart Simpsons gag

What I cam here to say was: I have four hundred and four unread messages in my work email, which is gmail based, so that total gets put in the tab and seeing "404" on my gmail tab is rather alarming! Then I remember what it really means and it's fine

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Victory! I managed to schedule a vaccine appointment for my husband. We're both in the current group, but he's got diabetes, so I pushed him to go first.

aaannd I just received annual job goals from one of my employees in an Excel spreadsheet. Also he spelled it "gaol" which might be a Freudian slip.
Mal suggested that I add "Get my team to use the right software for the job" to my annual goals.

OMG Toddson, Mal and I just laughed until we were streaming tears. (However I think I'm going to recommend it to the woman that Mal cat-sits for).

That seems like something that could happen if you went from Word for Windows, to Word for a Mac, and back to Word for Windows. At least, I've seen other, similarly odd changes happen with OS switches.
I can vouch for that. I see Σ in place of bullets in text I transport from Word documents (from writers and editors who use PCs) to InDesign files all the time. I've long assumed it was a conversion issue between operating systems, as it's statistically unlikely that many people would use Greek letters for bullet points.
Tab order of a form with over 80 fillable cells almost broke me last night. SO TEDIOUS! Also I’ve had no training in Adobe, so I very possibly am doing things in horrible convoluted ways.
I once had to generate a fillable form document with with something like 500 unique form fields in a gigantic table. As I recall, it took me more than an 8-hour day to complete just the one form.
