"Stationery" is paper and pencils. "Stationary" means standing still. I
spelled it wrong (or, more precisely, didn't bother to look up the spelling
of the one I meant), but then people made a joke...
If you mean the "+1", it's social bookmarking convention.

I guess she *may* have known a "soldering iron", but wasn't sure whether a
"soldering pencil" was a particular kind of *soldering* equipment, or a
particular kind of... well, *pencil* maybe?
The reaction sounds perfectly logical to me (though you might argue she could
have asked you for details if she wasn't sure).

I meant that, and I still don't get it.

Sites like Reddit. If you like a submission, or a comment, you vote it
up. If you hate it, you vote it down. Each vote adds/subtracts a point.
Thus, +1.
But, you know, in forums like this one, people may do +1. I've never
seen someone write a -1 for a comment he didn't like. Maybe I should
start doing this.

It's an upvote. Not unlike saying "LOL" after, but not quite as funny?
On sites like Digg and Reddit, when you see something you like, you click a
button that adds one to it, and the things with the highest score (i.e., the
most upvotes and fewest downvotes) is what winds up on the front page.
+1 is the online equivalent of the golf clap.
