grammer

My grasp of the English language is surprisingly bad. That's the main reason why I like to keep my sentences short. (I'm doing a report write-up; hence this entry.) As I am typing this report, I realize I don't consciously apply grammer to what I am writing. Like in that last sentence, I felt like a baby giraffe that's learning how to walk where each ensuing step increases the chance of tripping up.

I blame my failure at language on my career choice; engineers don't need to learn how to write. Ha! Consequently, I say aloud in my head and sometimes mouth the sequence of words I am currently typing. If it sounds ok, then it's totally good. What scares me is that this work ends up on published reports that can be brought in as evidence in a court of law. Yup.
