Kendall My experience has been with out-of-date instructors. I am totally biased against someone who infers that he has complete command of "our" language, yet he can't use "they're" correctly. And, this same asshole committed a blatant, grammatical error when listing various catagories of students! Any ignoramus who assumes cheating is a characteristic of foreign students, is being cheated by the good ol' American boys and girls while he is trying to catch the foreigners cheating. Oh, you're an engineering instructor? Well, you sure as hell didn't engineer the English language, but you sure know how to butcher it. Steven Schultz I profess that I am not in complete control of anything. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PATH: uw-beaver!ihnp4!cbosgd!osu-eddie!bgsuvax!schultz -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
