huh. ok. I see it more as "I never use American literature or algebra" versus "I never employ the themes and trends I learned in American literature or algebra" first statement true for both, second statement false for both. As far as actual information once told to me by a teacher that I then called upon and executed on in my daily life, algebra beats all my history and literature courses [distinguished from writing and foriegn language] combined by an underwhelming 2 to 0 (but it wasn't polynomial). As far as trends, understandings and thinking skills I learned in them being useful day-to-day, they're about tied approaching infinity. Do you not find yourself using the trends and themes from algebra in your daily life? Maybe I just think weirdly. Never mind then.
