Not an English major, I. Curiously enough, 'twas English coursework what hindered me more'n math or science. But I keep relearning the importance of clear communication and the hijinks that ensue when it does *not* take place. Plus, I never had that much trouble with the actual English (he said, somewhat over confidently). My problem with "it" was more often with the teacher person with whom I would likely have personality clashes--their fault, not mine, natch. Oh, and the fact that there was so damn much *reading* that I had to do, which I unfortunately do v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y.
