Well, I'm almost 100% sure that my response wasn't something he
actually _wanted_ to read in reply to his question.  It likely was
a simple spelling mistake.  However, if it wasn't a spelling
mistake, then he was about to litter his thesis with a half-dozen
or more 'therefors'.  So, it's possible that I saved him an entire
letter grade.  At least, I'm hoping it helped him in that way.
That's assuming his teacher - or the teacher's assistant doing the
grading - is experienced enough to catch such an error in the
first place.  If it's not checked by the English department, I
think many such mistakes would likely be missed.  An engineering
department would probably need a comprehensive list of English
mistakes to check for, otherwise, they'll miss many of them.  Have
you ever seen a textbook written by a University professor of
engineering without a review by their English department or
without a rewrite by the technical writers at a major publisher?
I've experienced a couple.  They're horrendous ... to the point of
being unreadable and uncomprehensible by other experts in the
field.  Think non-verbal insanity attempting to express itself
using words and utterly failing.  Think "Alice in Wonderland"
meets LSD, then meets engineering.  A "crackhead" would do
better ...  No, I'm not joking.  And, I said "would" not "could".
