"I am happy you like it but I have never actually uttered the word tuple
in my life, it makes no 
difference to me.  I get along just fine with tables, rows and fields.
I understand what goes in 
each of those things.  It is second nature (and trivial) to normalize to
3rd normal.  I have read 
many though not all of the rest of the 16 normal forms and understood
(at the time I read it) *some* 
of them.  Most seemed oh so esoteric." -- JWC	

LOL.  I'm sure I told this story before, but about a decade ago, when I
started working for my current employer, I started going back to
college.  Took an MIS class (Managing Information Services).

First day of the class, I was sitting in the back, here I am, 28 years
old, with a bunch of people that probably couldn't order a beer.  The
teacher starts going into the internet, and TCP/IP.  Just going over
basic stuff.  He then goes over a very basic description of an IP
address, and asks if anyone knew why each quad of an IP address had
values from only 0 to 255.  I looked around, no one was answering, so I
raised my hand.  The professor called on me, and I said 'Because that's
8 bits, or a byte'.  Wow, the class looked at me like a herd of deer
mesmerized by headlights! LOL.

I never studied for any of the tests, and I don't remember if there was
homework or not (I would have done the homework if there was some).  I
always got an A on the tests.  This stuff was SOOO far below my level of
understanding it wasn't funny, but it was a required course that I
couldn't test out of.  On one of the tests the question was:

What would a relational database developer refer to as a row of data?

So here I am, taking this test, and employeed full time as a
programmer/developer (with a relational database), and so I answered
'record' (I think it might have been row).  Tuple was in the list of
answers, but honestly, I hadn't read that chapter in the book.

So when I got my test back, it was the only question I had wrong, so I
went and asked the instructor.  His response was basically 'the book
answer is tuple'.  I had to laugh at that, because the book also
described Widnows 95 and Windows 98 as 'different Operating Systems',
which the teacher pointed out in class is 'technically' incorrect.
