I used to believe, there’s no β€œi” in Teamwork. Google set me straight.

@secretgeek

DuckduckgoAI says there is 1 "i" in teamwork.

@glutto @secretgeek

Yes, there is an "i" in "TEAM".

@JeffGrigg @glutto @secretgeek @timo21 I have drawn this on so many whiteboards.

Yes, I’m very popular in corporate meetings.

@Jeff Grigg @Cory Doctorow nice  ...

in german, when you see TEAM as an acronym it stands for: Toll Ein Anderer Machts which roughly translates to: great, someone else is doing it

(Wow! I thought "everyone knew" about the "i" in (the word) "TEAM". Like it's an old and widely circulated joke. But I'm getting more "traction' out of this than anything else I've ever said, ever! 😱 Heck; I might even hit 10,000! https://m.xkcd.com/1053/ πŸ˜‰ )

@JeffGrigg @glutto Love that xkcd.

As a connoisseur of good internet things which age well, I pair it with this essay from 2010, "Obvious to you. Amazing to others" https://sive.rs/obvious

@secretgeek @glutto

For many years I have said

"I'm not creative.
I just take some existing things and put them together in a new way, to solve whatever problem we're facing."

…

Later, I realized that …
That's called "being creative." 🀍

@glutto @secretgeek
> There is one "I" in the word "teamwork." However, the concept emphasizes that each individual ("I") in a team plays a crucial role in achieving collective success.

Amazing
