Pronunciation: my kro hard off fen siff

Sentence: When she was in school, long ago, Millie learned that computers (or machines that did your talking and thinking for you) were something out of science fiction. Trying to not feel like a dinosaur on a space station, she had dutifully taken all the computer courses her company had offered. She managed most programs with good efficiency, but one aspect dogged her progress in the company. It was noted that she always printed off absolutely everything that she received or sent over the computer. In a paperless society, she had managed to accrue more paper files than anyone else. It was said she had a microhardoffensive disorder...she had a compulsion to print out everything, not trusting the memory or hard drive of the systems her company used. It was a touch of irony that when the BIG CRASH came and wiped out all primary and back-up systems, that the management came to Millie to get her paper files in order to rebuild and salvage their records!

Etymology: Microhard (as opposed to Microsoft,the computer giant) & Hard (not easy; requiring great physical or mental effort to accomplish or comprehend or endure)also Hard (as in hard copy...a printed version of something on screen) & offensive (unpleasant or disgusting especially to the senses)

Sentence: Xena,the Printses Warrior, lived in eternal fearox that all her electronic files would be wiped out, so she printed out copies of everything that came through her computer. She requested a bigger office but was miffed when her boss refused. Xena's argument that she needed more storage space for her print-outs fell on deaf ears. Her boss cited paper costs and space shortage as reasons to reduce her paper files. Her viewpoint was further proven when a fire started in the piles of paper Xena had stored behind her desk. Thanks to her, now none of them has any records, or jobs either!

Etymology: Fear (paranoia;afraid) & Xerox (duplicator that copies graphic matter by the action of light on an electrically charged photoconductive insulating surface in which the latent image is developed with a resinous powder)
