Folding Is NOT Bending

Our newest field correspondent, Linda from LoCo, sent this to me.  Please click on the picture to enbiggen.

 
Merriam-Webster defines bend as "to curve out of a straight line or position" whereas to fold is "to lay one part over another part of ".  These are completely different concepts.  So while it is fine to fold this map and create sharp creases it is definitely not okay to put a gentle curve in it.  A curved map would do no one any good.  Class dismissed.

I can't believe I didn't make a Futurama reference. Such a missed opportunity.
