Not uncommon for stem majors to have poor English. My freshman brochure for my engineering college had "enlish 20". Which I found ironic they misspelled the spelling class lmao

I have Grammarly installed on everything I can for a reason lmao.

But why is uncommon for stem majors to proofread and use spell check?

You'd think these science-technology types would be all over that.

My late partner studied English as an undergrad and when he applied for his MA his email said "Please find attached my application for the MA in Creative Writning" and it makes me sad he's no longer around for me to relentlessly mock him about it.
