I’m an engineer.

And I’m not particularly good at math.

You must be one of the nice engineers here. My dad was an engineer and my math tutor. Poor guy!

I’m an engineer.

And I’m not particularly good at math.

I’m a retired engineer.

And I’m not especially good at arithmetic. (Tho when I see cashiers flummoxed by being given $21 in payment for a $16 item . . .)

A pet peeve of mine is the fact that elementary school teachers select themselves based on liking to deal with kids, rather than on their knowledge of the difference between arithmetic and mathematics, and their competence at both.
