Y'know, not for anything, but I don't really know squat about engineering. I'm a really, really bad math student and I didn't pay a cent's worth of attention in any of the mechanical engineering classes I took. If you really examine some of the things I post, that's patently clear.
When I make a post to these forums that has even the slightest hint of math or engineering theory in it, I check myself over; sometimes two or three times. I do pages and pages of equations to make sure I didn't miss something. I check references to make sure that my formulas are correct. Then, I spell check and reread my post to make sure that I'm communicating that hard work I just did in the best way that I can.
I don't care if you're not very good with speaking or writing English. I put a lot of work into the things I'm not very good with and I'm, honestly, quite tired of the excuses I see from people who are nothing short of lazy. If English isn't your strongest subject, work harder. If you have a disability that makes writing or understanding language more difficult, you can let me know and I'll keep it in mind as I read things you post. It's still not an excuse for sloth (i.e., ur, u, ne1, etc.) End of story.

Hey, I have had the entirety of my education take place in public schools and colleges and I speak and write English very well.

Let's not even start with dumb generalizations about social classes and their intelligence, okay?
