    I like to shit on Word as much as everybody else but the problem here is obviously that they didn’t use a mono-spaced font when they made the blueprints for this building.

      One of the many times this was reposted, someone had an interesting explanation. These walls are pre-fabricated, and they were mixing up the sections that go on the right with those that go on the left, or maybe walls from other sides of the building.

      • I saw something like this happen in a new hospital building. What they were doing was cutting the original wood for the headboard, then they used that as a template for the next one, which was used as a template for the next one, at least fifty times. By the end none of the shit lined up at all and it all had to be redone.

      From my experience, yes. Especially since tabs or a table with invisible grid lines are usually the better tools for this job.

      But people still use their computer like a typewriter, 25 years after those went out of fashion.

    Such a waste of money to build something that you know it needs to be demolished.
