Imagine you are sitting at a desk in front of a computer. You are given a sheet of paper. One side of it has some numbers in a table, and the other says Open the test.xls file on the computer desktop and, using the information overleaf, enter the relevant data in the spreadsheet. Do you understand this?
I ask because one of my colleagues (who shall remain nameless but you could probably guess) claimed she'd never heard the word 'overleaf' before. She didn't understand it, couldn't work out what it meant in context and claimed it was local slang impenetrable to a non-Victorian such as her. But it isn't, is it?
