It's not what a major is about.To put things in perspective, I'm an electrical engineer, heavy math stuff yet I simply DON'T KNOW how much e^-3.5 is without a calculator. Big deal, it's not as important as how you will USE that information.I think it's the same as English Majors. What you got to say and how you say it is by far more important than some minor errors.You've got to take the context also.
