Okay... I’ve started to actually look more into how I am typing and writing things lately. I reviewed some past items I have written from/multiple areas and to be honest... I found myself to be a bit appalled.
I was never that great in spelling but my use of grammar and basically sentence structure has lowered in standard. I’m not happy about my current spelling either; I’m starting to misspell common, easy words but I won’t think twice about them due to good ‘ol spell check. Hah!
I can now see why my friends poked me so much about my use of “Engrish”... It is REALLY BAD! I understand, though, that half of this comes from typing and writing as I think. More than often, my hands don’t keep up with my brain and even if I skip a word or two my brain will fill in the word for me and I won’t notice it until the last second. So this means, if I write anything official I should slow down and reread, or have someone else proof-read my mess.
But what I really want to do is “relearn” the English language. What I mean when I say this is that I want to go through a step-by-step/lesson oriented tutorial/or class that will refresh my self on the proper use of Grammar, Spelling, and Syntax. I guess this will be one of my goals possibly this summer or later on. But yeah, I just wanted to say that...
