BWAHAAHAHA, you're exactly the type of programmer that makes me add a month to the schedule. All ego and afraid of even the slightest criticism. You're the kind of guy that will argue for an hour about a bug and will in the end dismiss it as a minor issue requiring only 5 minutes to fix (never explaining why you didn't just fix the damn thing and 11 others just like it instead of arguing about it). I love engineers like you, if it wasn't for you guys no one would ever need QA.

It's really hard to parse "English grammar" when the writer didn't actually use English grammar, when in fact there's so many misspelled words it's arguable they didn't use English at all. If your point is worth making it's worth making CORRECTLY, with properly spelled words and everything. If you were a man and not an ego you could take your hit for misspelling without going into a tizzy and trying to blame everybody else for YOUR MISTAKE.

Boy, if you and Miss Spelling Bee would consult the posting rules for this forum, you would find that criticism for spelling in not considered good manners. It is not prudent to be overzealous in proofing these posts.

You haven't seen my work, nor worked with me. You are simply in no position to judge my work. I keep good records related to software changes, even when management doesn't require this. I also keep time records on each task, and feed that back to my own original estimates. Management has never required that. That feedback loop allows me to estimate my work to within 5% unless the requirements are a moving target. I do write excellent software and documentation. Don't jump to conclusions related to postings.

BTW, you match my stereotype for QA personnel. If you could code, you would be employed writing software. I'm still employed. Our entire QA department is out looking for work. Your job is very useful in ensuring delivery of a quality product, but it does not produce the product.
