Another eBay seller to be weary about .........

[skybolt]

leery...

 

or wary.

 

"women don't get woolly, they get weary"

 

That's why I'm not an English major. I don't give a $^# about spelling errors. Engineers are great students who can't spell words other than things most people wouldn't even care to spell out ... such as pneumonoultramicroscopisilivolcaniosis.

 

What's you major?

 

Chemical/Bioprocess Engineering

 

That field was really hot when I graduated back in 1994, but I'm not sure about today though.

there weren't even Biochemical Engineering programs in schools in 1994. Universities are just now making it an official major.

 

I'll be starting my work towards my third degree in the field in August. finishing up the 2nd this summer.

That's a good attitude. You might as well say "I want to look like an insufficiently_thoughtful_person."

 

Well, I've made 2 maybe 3 spelling errors in 4 months on the boards. Big deal. I've seen some board members make many more than that, so I'm not worried about looking like an insufficiently_thoughtful_person

 

I was talking about the attitude. People make spelling mistakes, that's not a big deal. Snapping back to a playful bit with something along the lines of I don't "give a [#@$%!!!] about spelling errors," on the other hand... that deserves comment.

I meant Chemical Engineering in general. My friend was making twice as much as me upon graduation in that field.

Well when I originally made that comment, it was also meant as a joke But now it's personal.

OT -- Oh yeah, Chemical Engineering is still one of the highest paying fields, and is known as the single toughest major in all colleges/universities ... but it's been hurt a bit by 9/11 and the current oil problems.

 

When I started my bachelor's program, they told us all we'd NEVER have trouble finding a job because we're needed in every field in every country, but then I graduated originally in 2002, just a few short months after 9/11, and 4 out of 25 had jobs that May.

um...I was an English major in college and I can't spell worth a darn. Lets face it if you are writing a professional letter you need to use spell check and proof read, however, if you are just posting on a comic message board who cares?

 

Hobgoblin can I be your friend now that I've got your back???

Homophones can still cause problems even with spell check though, and then ya wind up looking like a dunderhead.

Not only did I KNOW someone was going to say that, but I was 99% CERTAIN that that someone was going to be YOU.

Except that I thought you were going to call me a "homophonbe."

To update, the seller is offering to refund half the purchase price. I'm okay with that for a book in this condition. Still a good looking book that I didn't have before. He's a pretty trustworthy guy, just needs work on his grading and auction detailing.
