you would never freely admit to being rubbish at English?
A colleague said this to me today and manyothers have said it before when they ask me to explain how to work out percentages or whatever.
Why is it a badge of pride to say this? I work in an office where people deal with the written word and facts and figures all day. If they couldn't read they would really struggle - but apparently it's OK not to be able to do maths.
If they are really that bad, why don't they do an evening class?
