o, so english comp classes are really for us nerds and geeks to find a girlfriend???




also, Hell918, thanks for staying on topic XD I like how side tracked this conversationh got......

Re: the verb to CAD CADded? CADed?
 

Wish I could peer 30 years into the future and see how this discussion would end up.

The funny thing is, the 3 posters for whom I have the highest respect in ChiefDelphi regarding their command of the English language and the manner in which they convey their thoughts/information/wisdom/suggestions/directions, are male. The next 3 after that are male. It could be the ratio of male to female in the ChiefDelphi fora or it could simply be the manner in which these engineers and students choose to communicate, setting a high standard for the rest of us.

well ya.... I think its just that there are not a lot of girls interested in engeneering.... sad to say.... and I don't know why.
I always say that theres nothing hotter than a girl wearing safty goggles..... lol. :D

Re: the verb to CAD CADded? CADed?
 

This statement is ironic, I recall seeing several studies that females were actually better at math then guys. However, I think a lot of this comes from the stereotype of women in the workforce. The typical mindset for a woman as late as 40 years ago was that they were to stay in the home and raise a family.(Clarification: This is what women were TOLD to do, luckily they disagreed) A successful woman was one who kept a clean house, had dinner ready for her husband promptly when he came home from work, and was always happy. Now a lot of this has changed since then but in a sense not enough has, women are still expected to leave the workforce to raise their family. I find it perfectly logical for women to get discouraged from engineering knowing that no matter what they will most likely be passed up for promotions and end up working for people half as qualified just because they were born without a Y chromosome. Women's rights still have a long way to go.

I now find myself way off topic, but since this thread has seemed to digress from its original purpose into a more general discussion about communication in the english language I really dont feel too badly about that. :)

Jane, is fora really the plural of forum, wow you learn something new. Which just proves, a dictionary is one book you should always have handy.

Jason, you make a good point, I always try to schedule my classes so that I have at least one non technical course every term, this year it happens to be psychology. Nothing to do with being well rounded, taking a full load of technical classes would be HARD.

Hacking must only be done for the greater good of the community, and not for personal gain. Or something like that. (I forget the exact quote.)

You know, in Junior High I thought girls were the smart ones in math and science. Was I surprised when it was supposed to be the boys!

Is that how long we have on this thread??!?

My blushes, Jane.

Well, somebody had to say it. (And, yes, I do think that song is about me, too!)

Re: the verb to CAD CADded? CADed?
 

yes, so everyone keep it up! lol.

and then in thirty years, I will let you know how I'm doing. lol.

I don't know how long this will last.... but I don't mind it, my robotics coach/lead mentor gives us lettering points for posting on Chief Delphi. So with this thread I have gained a few points toward lettering. :D

Not unless you have to take an English class for your major which would mean that your class would be entirely composed of engineers. Muahahhaha..... Muahahhaha....

Re: the verb to CAD CADded? CADed?
 

ouch..... hmmmmm..... maybe I should get a back up plan then..... become a great partier? be a good dancer? not be and engineer? (oooo, that last one won't work for sure...)

Re: the verb to CAD CADded? CADed?
 

You should be sorry. Multitudes of red dots should be headed your way!

He's Canuckian, eh? Maybe that's one of those deficiencies of spelling and pronunciation they seem to enjoy. :p ;)
