You know, I was just thinking about this while listening to the radio on the way home today. NPR was airing an interview with this post-doctorate scientist about some kind of squirrel that had evolved an unusually effective intimidation defense against rattlesnakes, and the guy said "irregardless." I cringed and literally yelled, "Come on, you're a ****ing doctor!" at my radio. I know the two fields are not related at all, and I know it's perfectly feasible for someone to be a complete prodigy in science or math but have terrible grammar or writing skills, but I think subconsciously I did dock the guy a few points on the genius scale when I heard him say that. Communication plays a big role in how I view people's intelligence without my even noticing sometimes, and I think that holds true for a lot of people.
Hey Corp, you ever see this movie called Company Man?
