Dead Uncertain

So yesterday I went for my second media writing class, and I'm starting to wonder if it's really worth that 997 points I used to bid for it. For one thing, it ain't as interesting as I've hoped. Yesterday's lesson was basically on writing proper English. I groaned when I saw the lecture notes. Many things are basic enough. The good thing that came out of it? I got really confused about things I thought I knew. And confuse is good, as Descrates would say, because doubt stimulates the mind and inspires new knowledge.

That said, I have to mention that I'm not entirely confident of my teachers. The following appeared in one of the powerpoint slides during class:

... do not be afraid to seek advise when in doubt ...
-- lecturer, on the trick to writing good English

It is overwhemlingly ironic for this to happen in a *writing* class. Tell me, what can I hope to get out of this class?

Maybe Americans really cannot spell.
