    Removing an appendix is just a couple incisions and suturing.

    This is what you and I sound like to the average computer user. Most kids don’t know what a file is.

        Especially in a terminal, it absolutely sounds like it to them.

        A lot of users associate the terminal with “hacking” due to movies.

        You haven’t worked directly with users in an IT setting and it shows. You greatly overestimate the average user’s technical abilities and ability to care.

        Also don’t forget that most terminals paste on Ctrl + Shift + V by default, which is an extra hurdle they have to get over if they’re used to the standard paste shortcut. They won’t think to right-click to paste, and they’ll get frustrated and think the terminal is broken.
