Good Rec Bad Grammar

<p>One of my teacher's has the worst grammar in the world. Ok, its understandable but still pretty bad.</p>

<p>She wrote a fairly good rec and she is a math teacher. Will it hurt me?</p>

<p>Also, I recently started an internship (assembling evaluation boards for chips, occasionally working in the company finance department, etc). It's a large corporation. Should I tell colleges about it? Or is it not worth the trouble?</p>

<p>I doubt that will matter, since the teacher wrote it, not you. Plus, it's not as if the teacher is an English teacher or something. That might indicate that he/she didn't spend much time on the rec. But with math, it's probably pretty common (no offense math people!) Don't worry so hard (though, yes, I know that now apps are in, there is this empty space in seniors' lives where there used to be tons of stress)</p>

<p>I mean, don't sweat it esp. since she's a math teacher. </p>

<p>What's the harm in telling about the internship? Or do you mean is it worth a separate communication?</p>

<p>I spent a lot of time wondering about this for one of my recs.
I decided to go with someone else. it wasn't just about the grammar though... I knew she tends to forget a lot of things, and didn't write much... but the grammar was one of the big things.</p>

<p>Well, the thing about the internship is that I've only been working for 3 weeks so far. Will it just **** the colleges off taht I am mentioning something so minor?
The pay is only $10 an hour. </p>

<p>I did not mention it for the ucs or stanford.</p>

<p>^^^ Since you've only been at it for three weeks, I wouldn't bother mentioning it.</p>
