The topic represents my level, I never went to school or got an education, but that didn't stop me from obtaining a job in IT industry.
Its all about choices...

Hello,
I have a HS Diploma and I'm working on my BS.
I have a Networking Cert from a Technical School and experience, nothing else "under my belt".

Couple of degrees, psychology and social work, several certifications....a few academic honors here and there. I never thought much of them though, it merely means you showed up and at least put a modicum of effort into staying awake. School always struck me as a vacation from life.

I am a junior in college, finishing up my CS degree. Other than that, I have 3+ years of education in automotives, with a few years of experience to go with that, and I have extensive training in the feild of airframe repair. If it's made out of fiberglass, kevlar, or sheet metal, then I can probably make it as well, or at the very least slap a patch on it.

I can also see the humour in a statement pointing out the mistake in the topic containing a mistake

I don't mean to offend anyone, but this was just too good to pass up

*double checks for spelling mistakes and probably misses one or two*

*grins*

I know about the difference between British and American spelling (although only for a few cases), but I'm curious - would it be an actual mistake, or rather an unused alternative spelling, similar to how Dutch used to have alternative ways of spelling certain words with one being the preferred?

In a vague attempt to remain more or less on-topic : wherever I know there's a difference, I tend to favour the British spelling. After all, that's what teachers prefer here
