I noticed it said TEK is technique. It's Technical Knowledge Experience not technique. There was a noobie last week that was very confused about this and made a "Tek" about how to ruin your jars by pouring sugar water in them.

"Since in Greek agogos means "leader", a paidagogos was a slave who led boys to school and back,
but also taught them manners and tutored them after school.
In time, pedagogue came to mean simply "teacher;" today the word has an old-fashioned ring to it,
so it often means a stuffy, boring teacher."

Hmmm, stuffy, boring teacher eh?  :rofl:
