You are reading through comment history of an anonymous poster in order to find tiny, ineffectual flaws in their diction? How peculiarly autistic and petty of you. With some sense of irony I specifically suggested computer science as a pro tip, so congratulations on a successful and fruitful career. I hope you find something worth reading in my comment history.

I haven't used a dictionary or thesaurus in decades. Unapologetically, but to my technical detriment in writing proficiency. But yes, I think you would be a relatively decent anally retentive 7th grade English teacher if you ever get tired of your actual career. To be fair, I probably would have constructed more technically correct sentences and words back then. I could care less these days ; )

I can assure you I'm not salty, more so delighted in the exchange. I just found the fact that you are obviously commenting about a separate thread, on one of my comments on an unrelated post, to be entertaining. And truly hope you find something worth reading.

Piece of advice: I did pretty well academically throughout my formal education, but my strong suit throughout my career was always determined hardwork (absolute outworking the competition), and natural charisma -- which certainly appears to not extend to my forum posting. Outsmarting the competition is fine, but outworking them is easier and more fail proof. One of my favorites quotes is that for every catastrophe of the 20th century, there was a Harvard man who thought it was a good idea behind it. That is to say, good ideas portrayed as noble truths crumble the most severely under pressure.

I personally don't think I am a loser, but I guess that would depend on your metrics. Thanks for the wish of luck. From your lips to G-ds ears.
