I knew a girl at university who could barely spell. She's got an engineering PhD now. Still can't spell.

Duhhhh, Why do you think their engineering students ??
 

Oh, I'm sure that's why they're engineering students.

Mrs. Schlafly was the 1992 Illinois Mother of the Year. She and her late husband of 44 years are the parents of six children (John, Bruce, Roger, Liza, Andrew, and Anne) and 14 grandchildren. She taught all her children to read before they entered school and all had outstanding academic success: three lawyers, one physician, one Ph.D. mathematician, and one businesswoman.

"Rational"wiki is equally giggle-worthy.
