Do me a favor.

Quit making fun of people (of any age but especially kids) who ask genuine questions.

I have to pull questions out of adults now because at some point someone made fun of them for being curious.

It's not embarrassing to learn, you shouldn't feel guilty for thinking of a question and asking an expert.

You should feel happy that you are still curious about the universe.

Make learning a positive experience? Please?

@Quenby when in meetings and someone uses an acronym or term I don't know I just ask. I have often been thanked afterwards by others as they also didn't know but wouldn't ask. It helps I am often the most senior (in both ways) person there and I really don't have anything to lose. Being a consultant on the path to retirement has a lot of advantages.
