Right.
Their instructors are just as bad.
I met someone who is teaching VB and Pascal at the local TAFE ( sort
of substandard community college ).
He actually thought that Pascal is an OOP !
He either does not know what OOP is or else he is confusing Borlands
proprietary Delphi extensions with Pascal.
I now see kids who can barely walk without drooling who want to "do
computers because it pays well". In another decade they would have
been barely adequate butchers or bakers. Now they become VB
programmers and "help desk" people.

Devising your own font (Devanagari, pinhead graphics, etc.)
and using it in the mail is a good tactic,as is finding some way to use existing obscure fonts.
Aramaic , Pre-Rashi Hebrew and Sanskrit are particularly useful in this regard.
