Okay, I know this is a wiki guideline page and it's locked so only mods can edit it, but ... maybe we can spruce it up with an illustration?

I was thinking along the lines of the last panel from this Calvin And Hobbes strip.

Don't we have that strip on another page?

Yeah. Somehow, I think that an "explaining" image like Edit War or chaff would work.

[up][up] The version of the pic on that page needs to be replaced with the panels from the suggestion; they're better quality.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity. I'll replace the pic on Little Professor Dialog with the better-quality version tonight if I get time. No action on Word Cruft is to be taken based on this page.
