IMHO, having to look something up in the manual is just a routine part of the 
job -- not something to apologize for.  I remember starting a contract for an 
insurance company in Ohio and being told, after I'd been there a month or two, 
that what got me hired was that during the interview I said "I don't do that 
often enough to tell you off-hand; I'd have to look it up".  I guess they had 
their BS-o-meter turned up and liked that answer better than someone attempting 
to bluff-guess.

I have a useful knowledge of PERL, Python, BASH scripting, Java, and C/C++.
I do need to look things up when writing in them mainly because I'm not as 
interested anymore. I'm lazily reading about RUST right now.
