Oh my!  I thought projects like that were done without any plans at all. To think that was intentional is almost beyond words!

We have all heard the phrase "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".  I'm sorry, I think that he's blind in one eye and can't see out of the other one.

I repurpose a lot of sheet metal.  Most of my patch panels come from scrapped out car hoods, trunk lids etc.  That THING doesn't even look like it would make good patch panels.

Johnny Cash (not sure who Johnney Cash is) sung about stealing new parts from the manufactures. I don't see how that compares to repurposing. Also can you explain what this means?  Getting time to start thing GREEN!!!

 

Is proof reading still taught in school?

[Plymouthy Adams]

PP..you don't even know how to treat patina (rust) what you know about repurposed for green....and to think of the JC song...all he admitted to there was being a thief...

It's still taught in school, just not practiced on forums......along with spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

[whtbaron]

Seems like a waste of a nice, well equipped shop...

[Plymouthy Adams]

I am guilty of run on without punctuation...indicated by the little dots...habit I got into writing for briefings...bullet statements only please..no long narratives was wanted.

[48Dodger]

I don't it.....I'm a pretty easy going guy with an open mind...but I don't get it.

 

And now my eyes hurt.

When I was 68 years old in three years time I took 33 hrs of graduate courses in English Literature. In class after class I sat with countless "sttudents" who knew spelling and punctuation but did not know how to think, reason, or extend an argument!! For me a forum should not be a place of language correctness, rather it should be a place of conversation and ideas, most instructive others entertaining. While taking those graduate courses, I probably wrote some twenty plus, 15 page term papers, all properly researched and properly written. I received two (2) B pluses!the remainder were A papers.

So, go figure, if you want to be a rich man's secretary, have at it. In the mean time I will keep reading Samuel Clemmons and Harry Truman with a smattering of Churchhill and Chaucer!

I would think that after taking those classes you would be able to apply what you learned in real life situations. Is that not the reason to further ones education?

[pflaming]

I did not take any classes in typing, spelling, or touch controlled key boards. I did learn how to find what little good I could in student writing and then help them to think better. I never reduced a grade due to any mechanical errors though I pointed them out and suggested better ways to say what was on their minds.

Repeatedly my students returned from the universities and told me, I never got an A in your class, but I'm getting A's on all my papers, at the U. A professor from Harvard wrote on one of my former students paper that he hoped the rest of the class could write as well by the end of the class. He added that my student must have had an excellent English teacher. I just taught them what Aristotle wrote about communicating.

I taught the same to my debate teams who then won the state debate tournament in back to back years and qualified for nationals four out of five years, no teams since in that school has won once! But I never taught spelling nor sentence construction.
