Fascinating... Not sure I've ever met any one that legitimately doesn't know what a file folder is. They still had a crap ton of them for sale the last time I was in an office supply aisle shopping for school stuff.

Out of curiosity do you know what the Save icon represents?

At this rate I'm curious if they have even seen a save icon.
