The discussion humorously critiques the lack of understanding of physics among some individuals, using a metaphor about slow cookers and HVAC systems. Participants joke about the absurdity of using clay pots over heater vents and question whether this concept applies to air conditioning as well. Sarcasm is noted as a challenge in online communication, with some expressing frustration over misunderstandings. The conversation blends lighthearted banter with a nod to scientific principles. Overall, it highlights the intersection of cooking techniques and HVAC discussions in a playful manner.

To some degree, this thread is inspired by PF user erobz's thread "Why do we spend so much time learning grammar in the public school system?" That's why I made a title to this thread that paralleled the title of erobz's thread. I totally disagree with erobz. I created this thread because the curriculum of grammar at Universities is a totally distinct topic from the topic of the curriculum of grammar in public schools. I have noticed that the English grammar of many ( perhaps most)...
