Keep posting them, but we should just copy the text and link to the source instead of screenshooting a couple of sentences like my mom, no? This would save some disk space and power consumption as well.

Here’s the correct way:

  1. Take a photo of your screen with a camera.
  2. Have the film developed or print that photo if you have a digital camera.
  3. Make necessary highlights with a pen.
  4. Scan the paper.
  5. Upload the file here.

5. Upload the file here.

  1. Open a new Word document, embed the scanned image

  2. Print as PDF

  3. Upload the file here

I swear if I get another Word document with nothing more than a screenshot pasted inside I’m going to run off a cliff. Everyday at work. Microsoft must love this.

This guy boomers lol.

I've had someone at work do that. They printed an email, highlighted and wrote in their responses, and sent it back as a .jpg.

That was just the sort version. There are even more convoluted ways some consider to be unnatural.
