[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always thought English majors were people who weren't strong in any other subject area.  I didn't consider them "not smart," but I assumed they weren't well rounded, and couldn't "cut it" in a "real major."[/quote]

Well since assumptions are almost always right, particularly when they about vast groups of people, yours must be spot on.[/quote]

OP asked a question and I answered.  I didn't say I was correct, just what I thought.  If they can get a job that pays well with an English major, then what anyone else thinks is irrelevant.  Heck, it's irrelevant even if they can't find a job.

Wow.

Well, that sure is helpful.

What other wild speculation you can't defend and has no use or purpose would you like to proffer?[/quote]

You obviously don't understand the meaning of the word "considered."  OP asked if English majors are "considered" smart.  I responded with how I viewed them. That's what considered means. OP didn't ask for facts backed up with supporting data.  My "wild speculation" specifically responded to OP's question.  Sorry you have a problem with my direct response to the question posed.  [/quote]

Forgot to answer your question.  The other wild speculation that I'd like to proffer is that you're overly sensitive.  That speculation has no use or purpose other than answering your question. [/quote]
