You're having wishful ideas again.

Everyone who goes to college has to pass English 101. Does it just not stick with some people?
well my college just had a bare min requirement only needed writing 121 and they don't require perfection.
I imagine like any other skill, it dissipates with lack of use. I don't write papers every day. I haven't written a paper in years. I use to speak German too. I never planned or like to write. to maintain my grammar would require someone to teach me it on a daily basis. I just feel my time is better spent on doing stuff that is more likely to get me a job. If I had a better brain that worked right I would be better
smarts are a tough thing for me. I'm highly intelligent, but I'm just not into stuff people consider intelligent fields like:righting, science, math, etc. I guess i lack book smarts(probably from my reading difficulty) I'm good at learning stuff and passing school.
people who are turned off or hate those who lack perfect grammar are a turn off for me so it works out lol. There are far more important things in life then grammar and spelling.
for me I was held back from advanced writing cause my disorder, I did take one regular writing class due to a fluke and passed it so it wasn't that I couldn't just they assumed I couldn't same with them saying I couldn't learn German.
out of curiously. If I notice his errors and they bother me a bit, but my grammar is so bad(as I've been told) where does that place me? can there not be people who just have decent or ok spelling and grammar or are we all seen as the same by the perfectionists?
I think that the lack of care people show when posting publicly sloppy writing is interpreted by others as sloppiness in general as well as lack of developed interest in writing, reading and associated intellectual pursuits. This will then translate into general incompatibility as you have already deduced.
From my personal point of view, your writing is cogent enough to convey that you are someone who thinks about more than where his next Big Mac is coming from but perhaps lacks further education or has developmental issues such as dyslexia etc. that make it difficult to express himself eloquently in writing.
There are many levels of ability out there and people have varying levels of acceptance and tolerance for others.
For me, it's often a case of - hm, I wonder if this is what kids consider cool these days; like what Nick wrote above for example and what took me a while to decipher, lol.
thanks, while it might not look like it I do care and work hard at it. I have to Google stuff sometimes cause firefox's spell check doesn't catch all. I seem to have memory problems that are concerning to me, like I see a world i wrote and I'm like that's not right but then after looking it up it is. I can end up spending 2 minutes trying to fix a word I spelled right. Then there is the "i" thing that's just fixing bad habits. I got so use to other spell checks auto correcting it on the iphone that I don't bother with it on computer. ugh. I guess this is why it really gets to me when people tease me about it. I'm already freaking out about my grammar/spelling problems, and worried I'm going wake up one day and not remember things. I don't need some guy to constantly point it out and say i have poorer grammar then a 5th grader or foreigner.
not anyone here, some guy on another forum.
