[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]English majors, unite! Let's take a stand in our workplaces!

Refuse to review your colleague's resume! Insist that you can't possibly edit the engineering study for readability. That contract that is about to be submitted? Yes, it's rife with errors, but you are not to get involved.

The new associate being interviewed right now? Make yourself scarce! Let your boss cringe at her incorrect verb tenses, her inability to form a coherent thought and inappropriate slang peppering her speech.

Also, all research will cease immediately. My fellow English majors, I'm sending you a semi-coded message here. You know what I mean. No delving into new topics just because you are interested and/or want to learn more for yourself. No. Stop it. You will stab blindly through meeting after meeting, endure involved project discussions and even hear your supervisor mention the same set of phrases that are oddly familiar yet just out of reach to you but you must resist. This is critical; no light reading on the subject, no finding related sources, no connections or nuances are allowed to be found.

Put your reading glasses aside. There will be no "cleaning up" or "editing for content" (just this once, he says) anymore. Turn off the lights and unplug, English majors!

Hm ok. Since that's all you are good for, have fun writing silly analogies on Starbucks cups. You service those with skills.[/quote]

Outstanding reading comprehension and analysis there, PP. D- [/quote]
