    Actually it does. It is more valuable than the social analysis provided by economics. People who work in grocery stores have a basic but meaningful understanding of how business works. Economists know virtually nothing about how businesses operate. The ignorance, I'm afraid, is on your side.

    That must have been a terrible experience for your teachers, when I graduated from high school we had already learned lots of things like grammar and spelling.

    Sorry, not trying to be a jerk but if you learned your English and Grammar at a US public school, they failed you miserably and I apologize.

    Please point out the specific system so we can start a petition to shut them down, fire everyone, and start over.

    Terrible! Fortunately during my last vacation (Munich) everyone spoke excellent English, I was told to expect that but I was pleasantly surprised.

    Don't get me wrong, I tend to consider message board posts to be a fairly relaxed environment, we're not being graded on grammar and syntax here. With that said if the spelling is THAT bad and yet someone claims to have spent many years here, I tend to doubt that claim for obvious reasons.

    well consider I got my Grad school here at a good university, 3.9GPA, earn 6 figures. and my professor was satisfy with my work. i'm not English teacher, some people good at language some people good at math. during high school my teacher was happy I was in her AP class such as calculus, physics etc. oh btw its a forum, i'm not writing a proposal here.
    i'm good at engineering, that's my profession not English teacher.

    no I only have one citizenship, and that's US citizenship. what do you mean by not been an American. I never criticize US or anything like that, I criticize Trump and his policy, that's two different things. There are plenty American not a fan of trump

    We need to just completely end all trade with China.

    We don't need them and the nations around them can absorb the manufacturing needs
