  1. Props to UT by Valar · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    UT is my school. It is waaay underrated as a geek school. It's the #5 engineering school in the country, but no one ever mentions it. They have a lot of projects like this going (plus way geekier ones, like the robot soccer team that recently won a championship, the mechanical engineer's indy car team, and petrol's rig in the basement thing). Hook 'em horns.

    So, if you take the sentence, "I is good", that merely a spelling mistake? I really meant to say, "I am good" but i just mispelled am. No, I dont think so..
