Shakespeare didn't major in English. Neither did Hemingway.
Neither, for that matter, did Asimov, Heinlein, L. Sprague de Camp or J.K. Rowling.
Some things you don't need school to learn. Some things that teachers insist on are wrong anyway. Good writing isn't all about following the Rules.
What you're doing is reading the work of people who're actually working in the field, many of whom also got the classical education. That actually puts you one up on those who just had the education, and certainly one up on losers like those folks up top, who didn't do either. ;)
