Finding many of these types of errors in the given text does make a
definite statement about credibility, particularly when presenting
oneself as a straight-A student.


Give me a brake.


Why is one of the ones on your car broken?

I was a straight-A engineering student, not a straight-A English student
:-)

Don't you know that engineering ability is inversly proportional to
spelling ability?


Actually no. I've typically found that the better engineers are also the
most literate.

You would think an engineer would know what the mechanical system of a car
is called, wouldn't you? g

Good one.

Like I said. I am an engineer. Fortunetely I don't have to earn a living
by remembering the difference between brake and break. If I did, I would
starve to death :-)

So OK -- I can teach college physics and that is a sign I can not do
engineering work ??? As my 12 daughter says -- WHATEVER!!! (Image eyes
rolling up as this is spoken :-)

So why are you not doing engineering? You can make a hell of a lot more
money, and I will assure you, that you will get to HATE the attitudes of the
kids and the system (of education) REAL quickly.

Mark my words, you will get sick of teaching. Don't put too many years in,
and have too much wrapped up in the pension program, so that you are trapped
and can't leave.
