...teenagers are complaining about that they’re probably write...

only one of the candidates I liked at all was Caine...

Probably the single most useful class I ever took was typing, math was useful through algebra but nothing after that has ever applied,...

Probably the least useful class ever was free enterprise, it actually made me dumber, no really the teacher gave a bunch of us the final on the first day of class as an experiment, then we took the same final at the end and I got 4 fewer points.

I guess you didn't learn (or don't use) much spelling, punctuation, or grammar in your line of work. ;^)

Actually no. I’m in software, we push buttons. But even for that stuff that was all in elementary school when most of it was taught. By Jr High we were largely reading bad books, as I said in the part you edited out, I probably learned more English in Latin than English, certainly when it comes to vocabulary 2 year of Latin probably taught me 90% of my polysyllabic vocabulary. And for spelling I’m by and large rescued by the red squiggly lines.
