Actually, an English degree is very versatile. It can be used in almost all lines of work. It basically teaches you how to think well. You learn critical thinking skills, analytical skills, communication skills, and the ability to read and write well. All of the above are an important foundation for any career. The rest is just training, which most jobs do anyways.

It's probably better that you weren't hired. If the others talk just as badly or worse, your head may explode one day while you're on the job.

Eh, down where I'm from, good english is not very common. Sadly, I'm a grammar nazi. Coming from a town named Hinkley might not be the best :/ I feel your pain.

I once had a customer threaten to stab me for that exact reason after I tried to explain a contest to him and why I couldn't just look in the computer to see if his kid won. it was probably one of the better compliments I've had at work. :-D
