I was trying to avoid impugning the quality of his law-school education, though I did consider suggesting that the (presumed) lack of the services a personal amanuensis to check his spelling left him vulnerable to such embarrassment... Thank god neither he nor I am in Great Brittain, where one dare not utter unflattering words for fear of a libel lawsuit... And, lest it go without note and unremarked-upon: Thank god I don't make typos!... (And as with Homer Simpson, food critic, I will get no comeuppance... NO COMEUPPANCE!)

Lawyer? P.E. == Pompous Esquire

No, no! There is no pompous 101 in law school curriculum. Pompous 101 is jealously guarded and only the province of medical school which leads to a M.D., not a J.D... And P.E. in Texas requires a lot of (strike that) a B.S., 5 years apprenticeship under the guidance of another P.E. the recommendation of 5 other P.E.s and then an 8 hour principal and practices exam in your field of specialty. Following that it requires 15 hours of annual continuing education along with the 15 hours the J.D. requires as well. But no Pompous C.E., that is for the M.D.s -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Oops!

For information, GREAT BRITAIN only has one "t"

I was waiting for someone to find that. Actually (don't tell anyone), I'm an AI participating in an extended Turing Test, and that requires an appropriate measure of (seeming) mistakes.

A bold assertion, declaring one doesn't make typos when in the previous paragraph there is a glaring mistake.

Creating a human-like mind isn't easy, but I think my programmers struck quite a good balance between perfection and believability.
