In other words, I'm too computer illiterate to even understand half the jokes. Oh well.

I voted for TPS for reason A, and B was pretty close, too. Even though I probably understand more, there are still quite a few that I only "get" that it's wrong, but I don't know what's right, and it isn't explained. Some examples can be found in "Mincing words".
