My Grammer Sucks!!!!
OK, so I purposefully misspelled the word "grammar". However If you receive my Newsletters or read anything I write without the aid of a professional editor you will undoubtedly see that I can barely spell let alone converse with duly appointed commas, hyphens and semi colons. In the Newsletter, I just sent out, I just noticed ( about two minutes too late) I wrote your instead of you're. I do it all the time and I know it drives many grammar police insane. ( you know who you are ). I apologize to those who it may offend, please just be happy that our technology includes spell check otherwise nothing I delivered would be legible. I have never officially been diagnosed with dyslexia. However, it runs in my family and I know that I tend to write numbers backwards and have trouble seeing my own mistakes. In school Math was my true nemesis. I knew the formulas forward and back ( or was it backward and forward?) regardless, I could never pass a test. I always tended to switch a number in the problem eliciting an incorrect answer. I actually tutored other students in algebra, passed chemistry and obtain high scores in upper level science courses, having never passed a pre-algebra class myself. In my collage English course ( a class I always exceeded at ) my professor told me I had a reading comprehension problem and suggested more than once my work was plagiarized ( a phenomena more than one teacher accused me of ) then proceeded to give me an A.?
I considered publishing this blog with out using the spell check feature, but all the red lines were a tad disconcerting. So again I apologize to those whom I drive mad with my ridiculously, horrible, grammatical errors and I offer you a solution. Help me. Till then, I'll keep my Dictionary handy and the Thesaurus open.
All my Love & Gratitude
