True story:

In WWII, the Germans recruited a UK-born child (of German-born parents) to 
be a spy. His cover story was he was born in Iowa on a farm. He had a 
perfect midwest accent, he memorized all the baseball stats (which was a 
popular way to 'ferrett out' spys, as every USA soldier could reel off 
baseball stats). He went undetected for many years.

However, he was caught when he asked a motor pool grunt to "please put some 
petrol in the Jeep".

There are MANY good circuit designers that are not formally trained (re the 
late Jim Williams of LT). But, there are MANY people who want to be 
*engineers* (NOT the same thing) and try to pass themselves off as such. And 
they ALWAYS make the most tiny of slip-ups to indicate to the EEs that they 
are 'playing at it'.

This is another such case.
