It's fun to watch the overt spelling and grammEr errors posted, all the while telling us math people can't spell.

Am I the only one who will walk outside on a beautiful spring day, feel the wind in my hair and contemplate the 3-dimensional vector fields of the wind?
Or, be driving on a highway off-ramp that is banked and on a hill, and then try to figure out what my free body acceleration diagram would look like?
Or, be staring at a pot of water, waiting for it to boil and trying to do some rough mental calculations, while knowing the volume of water, heat of the flame and make an educated guess when it will begin to boil?
Anyone? Sometimes my wife thinks I'm weird when I mention these things. <:)

Yeah, but I also make mistakes in speling/grammer when I'm posting on the Internet. This sort of writing isn't really all that series.

Now you're just making mountains out of molehills, and attempting to put a Carvillesque spin on what was really said. If you'll go back and read #575, you'll find qualifiers in my post such as, "I've observed", and "seem to be". It's not like I categorically claimed that engineers (the subject of my post) couldn't spell, let alone math people in general.
