The worse it will be.
Confusing worst with worse is common amongst those with low standards of grammar. Trying to pass it off as a typo is like those who confuse advice and advise, or then and than, and then try to claim that's a typo also.
Nope. I am pretty well educated with a pretty good vocabulary but I am mildly dyslexic. So I continually screw up words that are similar or sound alike. Interestingly I know it and can find and correct them but I have to reread everything and I don't always.
Isn't Cornell known for flunking students in its engineering school, to the point that some students have committed suicide?
I don't know about Cornell specifically, but it definitely happens. That said, it takes a special group of students for at least *some* of them to get the hint and pull it together after the whole class fails the first test or two.
quite possibly the best forum reply in the history of the world
Move the basket to 11 or 12 feet. Restore the game to its initial intent...and remove much of the advantage of the big man. I would however hazard a bet that it would still be dominated by Black men.

All good engineering schools are collective efforts. The students are pretty well organized into groups by the end of the first semester and collectively work the process. Very helpful. And in an engineering school there are always a few students that are smarter than the given professor.
I don't have any significant experience in a liberal arts school but I doubt they organize as well as an engineering school.
You speak two languages. Impressive. Give me a call when you can speak four as I do.
Four in all the same language family, right? C'mon now, bruh. Probably even the same writing system. Don't call me when you can speak, read and write in four languages from four different language families. I don't really care that much.

Most Americans can't even speak English, let alone anything else. I'm partially of Euro descent, so it's common for us to speak several languages. I speak others as well, but not fluently, so I don't count them. ASL isn't in the same category or is it?

Anyway, thread derailed. Apologies to OP. Over & out.
No no no! Don't apologize now. You've done a fine job of pointing out my fatal mistake. Unlike the NAACP, my skin is a bit thicker than most.
