  1. What does it mean when your are #TeachingComputerScience, at a whiteboard, and end up writing #texlatex? As in, instead of the usual way of subscripting, I actually wrote an underscore on the board.

    I felt something was wrong, stopped, read what I had written again and ended up laughing in the middle of class.

    I can confirm (the students did) that this has never happened before; they had never seen anyone write LaTeX physically. I have never done it before either, all my texing has been digital.
