Seems that Coca-Cola Blak has recently arrived in the lower 48. If you like coke and coffee, then you will like Blak. I tried it for the first time recently and was impressed, it's alot better than I thought it would be. It only has 12 grams of sugar per 8 oz bottle, which is quite a lot less than most colas and it packs a pretty good caffine kick.
Personally, the only way I can tolerate english is if it is taight with an emphasis on its practical use. Engineers hate theory unless they can immediately grasp the practical application of the theory. When every you teach something, like the importance of active voice for instance, make sure you explain why it is important for them to know/use. For instance, use of the active voice makes for less verbose language and is more engaging to the reader because of its use of active verbs. That's the only way you'll get engineers to listen to what you have to say.

obviously, the importance of proof-reading was not impressed upon me.
