People with degrees that are a bit thick really

Just offererd to proof read a lad at work’s college assignment. He has a degree in automotive design, so should be pretty competent, I thought.

I thought wrong. I’m no English Professor but fuck me it looked like it was written by a child. Spelling, punctuation and grammar all over the shop. Different spellings of the same word (raiser/razor). Clunky sentence structure. I spent about 2 hours re-doing it for him.

What are they teaching kids these days when you can get a degree with a complete lack of English skills?

Automotive design and suchlike.

I'd also like to know how many times you checked that post for grammar and spelling mistakes. :lol:
 
Inexcusable. You should have refused to review it until, as a minimum, he'd corrected the basics first.
Asking someone who makes such mistakes to correct something like that is a never-ending task. When I was teaching I would sit down and explain certain rules to the kids and it just doesn't go in for some of them.
