What do people use more often to get work done. MS Word or relational algebra?

MS Word, but it pays much less well.

But, por que no los dos? Sure, teach MS Word, and also teach relational algebra.

Purely because they don't know any relational algebra. If they knew both they wouldn't use Word.
I can know as much relational algebra as I like, but I just had a fun interaction with a set of lawyers (in my day-to-day life business, not work) where the Word skills were still necessary.
