Now they have to pay a minimum of $240/yr (1 app) and as much as $600/yr.Īdobe has essentially screwed these less profitable but very loyal and evangelistic customers in favor of extracting more revenue out of those that depend on Creative Suite. Casual users used to skip upgrades because they don't need all the latest features (some would say bloatware). The problem of course is that the subscription price is so much more expensive for casual/budget users. Subscriptions just get everyone on a recent version always. Slightly in Adobe's defense, a subscription model would avoid this particular issue, where the customer needed support for a 4 year old version. This post is superficially about bad support but the underlying issue is the move to subscription-based pricing (Creative Cloud). Maybe it'll start getting better when narrow minded thinking stops telling the world to be more open minded to tolerate their continued close-mindedness. What's a joke to me, is how little empathy there is when someone is told to change their name to make it more acceptable and easier to pronounce because they're not worth knowing. That, in turn, made me wonder if we're really progressing, and what made me write. It did made me wonder if doing so was really that evolved from making up a willfully ignorant African or Asian inspired name 30-60 years ago. I wasn't really that upset by you putting a reasonably accurate looking and long south indian name. And process the half hearted apology of "sorry if anyone was offended, but not sorry I said it because I don't see the big deal". My sense of humor is such, that it doesn't have to take shots at people for things they can do nothing about: the colour of their skin, their looks, their height, the name they're given, how they didn't choose the families they were born into. YMMV.Īll language can be misunderstood by those who wish to misunderstand it. Whilst I couldn't care less the real meaning I've always assumed that "I could care less" is a shorthand for something along the lines of "I could care less but that's too much effort given how little I care about it".
It is lowest because greater ones can be achieved by excluding proportions of the population that has been used to establish the standard. GCF is a mathematical analogy but doesn't work as a direct usage as it would be unclear what the "factor" is that the people are to hold in common whilst in the original phrase it's clear that the denominator (standard) to be held in common is the sum of language understood by all. There is a loose commonality in the usage but the term "lowest common denominator" as used here is not the mathematical term. It means the LCD in maths (used for simplifying fractional arithmetic) and it also means the "basest form of something which all members of a population are able to comprehend/use". Lowest common denominator is a phrase with different meanings in different contexts.

Hence the way people are reacting.Įdit: wow, mhurron, why not interact with what people have actually written in its full and intended context instead of assuming the worst about people and knocking over a strawman? Poor communication started the problems here with this customer so it is an especially touchy subject for Adobe. If you're not good at it, that reflects on you and your company and the seriousness with which they take the customer care function. On the other hand, if you're working in customer care, written and verbal communication is your thing. I'm very sympathetic to an engineer or scientist having issues like this, perhaps working in fields where people from all over the world will be working together. > I think a lot of time is wasted on perfecting spelling/grammar because of comments like the one above. If public communication isn't your thing, how hard is it to find someone to proofread your message when you're working at a corporation? In either case he's not the person Adobe should have handling a PR situation. I assume Scott's either dumb or careless. Are you having difficulty understanding Scott's message or intent?
