> I'd definitely be for the theory that English ... is not taught in even a slightly rigorous way here. It isn't. Public schools are haphazard, it is rarely taught well there. It isn't generally included in the sort of language/liberal arts classes that engineering students might be required to take (those are going to be more along the line of literature or creative writing classes). It is probably taught well in catholic schools, if anywhere.
