I feel unable to judge without seeing the actual table.

    Yeah.

    I usually colour code tables to draw attention to key areas.

    I do it all the time at work as an engineer. Red/bold for bad numbers, green/bold for good numbers. Maybe orange/bold for mixed bag

    Red/green isn't really a good combination due to color blindness. Either go blue/orange or at least add icons like ↑ and ↓ next to it.

    C# in Excel can't even properly pull values from a table correctly. No way I'm going to waste 2-3 trying to make it concatenate non-alphanumeric characters into cells.

    At work, there isn't anyone I have to send tables to that is colorblind. And if that changes, they can make a request. Until then, I'm sticking with red/green

    A friend once received an email riddled with misspellings and grammatical errors from her boss that critiqued her (appropriate) use of exclamation points. Specifically, that appearing cheerful was not professional.

    Some people just like to be miserable.

    There's nothing wrong with rainbow tables. Printing them sounds a bit excessive, though.

    Faith, what are you doing? Rainbow Tables are for the CS class!

    Well, rainbow tables are really valuable in certain disciplines, just not those rainbow tables

    Haven't been able to locate the definitive source, but there are several of these out there with Faith and Professor Kutaywa.

    Believe it originates somewhere on LinkedIn, but very rare for a LinkedIn meme to escape the platform.

    I understand that colors can color, heh, our perceptions but being a primarily visual animal means that we can digest information much quicker through color.

    Without seeing the charts, I can’t say if the Prof is just being a curmudgeon or not.

    I've only ever been academia adjacent and I'm glad. Some of the most soulless people I've ever met. It's the lab grunts who know how to party. Until they have the life sucked out of them to meet some arbitrary writing spec for a journal

    Clearly fake - no-one puts first supervisor in their email signature!

    You’d hope a professor would understand capitalisation. I know in real life that many don’t though.

    Ah the heady experience of a virgin clown-sighting. We all remember. Bring on the rainbows, Little Bobby Tables.

    I’m beginning to think Faith shouldn’t have chosen higher education.

    Because it can't accept her avant garde use of color to facilitate learning? Because Faith is ahead of her time? Because she is a pioneer?
