A lot of people who don't even care for maths or aren't good at it seem to just take it just because it's maths. Good thing that the other 'core' subject English isn't taken so often- I think we know which is the better one.
Sorry, but are you insinuating English isn't a core subject? Yet, without English, you wouldn't be able to express your views thoroughly, and even be able to speak in proper, coherent sentences.

That is not what I am insinuating at all mate! You have got the wrong end of the stick I'm afraid.
What I meant by the inverted commas is that even though it is a core subject (which it obviously is) it isn't taken at A-Level frequently.
And to be fair what you have said that English allows can be done by everyone in my school by at the very latest Year 9. I don't know about other schools but from what I have seen it doesn't take even a GCSE to do that - never mind an A-Level.

Apologies then! Surely you can argue that point about many subjects though, take maths for example, at KS3 level I knew pretty much all I need to know in later life, since I do not intend to have a career directly related to maths (I plan to go into law), therefore I'm pretty sure I will not need to know about circle theorems and surds.

Fair enough. But, in terms of a hell of a lot of careers much more higher level maths (talking graduate level here) is needed for many real life applications; much more so than higher level English; though obviously it is helpful for Law.

I think it entirely depends what career sector you want to go into, but that's my opinion
Im thinking of taking Maths, History, Religious Studies/Philosophy and Ethics(depending on whether they even teach it at my school) and something else - i want to be a lawyer - but i do not want to take english lang/lit

Good for you, I would have chosen the Philosophy and Ethics course if it hadn't cut out medicine..
English Literature and Philosphy and Ethics are pretty similar.!!!!
They aren't that simkilar because Phiosophy and Ethics is like RE and Re and English Literature aren't that close except the fact that they both rely on essays.
