It depends on how you use spell check. At my last assignment in the Navy, there was one civilian worker who always selected “Add to dictionary” when the program found a misspelled word.
Understood, and Lord knows my professors were still busy with articles and other projects. It’s just that second-tier universities are good for PhDs who don’t really want the publish-or-perish atmosphere that top-tier schools often have.
Me too. moejoe, have you ever had 50 emails to respond to in 30 minutes? It’s a freakin’ email, not a paper or essay. Would you have rather had her carefully proof read the 20 she did before yours and never even have sent it to you.
BTW, check out the costs of other colleges. You are still getting a bargain, even if not as much of one as it used to be. CSUs, as have been mentioned, are plenty good. I assume you are snarky about their quality from having turned down offers from Harvard and Yale, right.
Not to mention CSU professors are getting screwed by the state (UC profs also.)
As for bad spelling, I took a systems programming class from a pretty famous MIT professor. He said that to deal with his bad spelling, he wrote his Fortran compiler to take alternate versions of Dimension and the like.
Whatever. It was a mass email to the whole class a week before the class started. The “alot” thing ticked a nerve for me, as I’m sure some equally minor thing ticks the nerve of everyone here getting on my case.
As I said WAY upthread it probably would have been better placed in MPTIMS.
