So, wouldn't it seem advisable to have "Natural Language
Skills" in the curriculum? At least for non-english speakers
(like me :-|)? While there is ongoing talk about The
Globalisation (again), I can see that students are advised
to learn a foreign language, but are otherwise left alone -
the plans for their time at universities do not, in general,
explicitely include slots for other skill that are nevertheless
considered essential.
As an aside, knowing how to use a typewriter seems also to be
helpful, yet this isn't taught, is it? :-)
