English Major: Mighty
Time: 04-10-14 @ 3:23pm Experience: Oh, I also defined and spelled "etymology," to which one of my coworkers said, "But isn't that the study of the history of atoms?"
Oh, engineers.
English Major: Mighty

English Major: Chewie Kittie
Time: 03-19-14 @ 2:23pm Experience: I corrected a bid for a coworker asking her if she meant "assessed" instead of "accessed." Bit of a difference in meaning there.

English Major: spidey

English Major: Mighty
Time: 03-10-14 @ 4:46pm Experience: When I loaded the paper in the printer for The Boss. Because, you know, it takes an English degree to read the words "load paper" flashing across a digital screen.
English Major: Chewie Kittie
Time: 03-04-14 @ 3:01pm Experience: When I wrote a paper for a project detailing point by point why both the project and the paper were wastes of my time. I REALLY don't like this professor.

English Major: Chewie Kittie
Time: 02-27-14 @ 5:02pm Experience: When I wrote a in depth letter of complain to the department head regarding my professor. It was cogent, thoughtful and insightful. It was professional sounding without being whiny. I rocked it.
English Major: Jenn
Time: 02-26-14 @ 8:46pm Experience: When I went to my job at a bookstore. Yay economy. Seriously, though, I love my job. Who needs money when you get to be around books all day?
English Major: spidey
Time: 02-26-14 @ 5:07pm Experience: I defined comma splice for a co-worker who loves to use them.
