I have seen designers that could not calculate the volume of a large square tank...... (We ain't no engineers...) Nope your not designers either.Unfortunately been there, I've seen that!
I had an employee, (high school graduate,) That refused to learn to use the metric system because it was too hard to add in mm! He couldn't add fractions either. I don't think I ever had an employee that could use trig. How do you layout a square corner in construction, say on a roof? 3,4,5! How hard is it? Now we know where pols went to school.
I did not get it what is a peck
