Are you?

After going through all my schooling I still find my self making a ton of mistakes in my writing. Which explains me barley passing any English class in college. -_- I love reading but holy **** writing or grammar is not my strong point. Give me a calc problem cause words are dumb. :P

I'm actually quite good at English and the like. I find it to be more effortless, as opposed to math where I do have to really apply myself. I've gotten praise for both my grammar and writing, but it's nothing amazing I can assure you.

I'm pretty much the opposite. Math comes effortless to me, while writing... not so much. I can solve a page full integrals, but I can't even write an opening paragraph.

I think my grammar is generally pretty good when it comes to writing and speaking. I always procrastinated until the night before an essay was due before starting the paper, and I was still able to get B+'s/A-'s. I got worse marks the few times I actually started an essay early and went back and edited my rough draft lol.

From my experience, most people are either one or the other (good at math and weaker at writing or vice versa). Of course it's not true for everyone, but that's what I tend to see :P

I never mastered at writing a coherent thesis or conducting a good argument so i tend to avoid debates on these boards -__-

OK, I'll prove it then.

+I make great arguments.

+I have a cool looking Majora's Mask avatar.

+I have a humorous signature that also shows that I am playing top notch games, which highlights my impeccable taste in entertainment.

+I have an extremely charismatic e-personality.

+I am effortlessly witty.

Just based on these five factors, I must be GreySeal9. The proof is irrefutable.

I'm significantly better than the majority of people my age. I was always advanced with my reading and writing and English skills, I was reading at an 8th grade level in 3rd grade, with no special coaching or prodding. I just picked it up extremely quickly.

If writing is your forte, and you're still committing comma splices, I'd hate to see how bad you are at everything else.

I applaud you for your trolling attempt.

I don't write how I normally do on here.

Like this.

That's not a sentence, but a lot of my posts have those fragments there.

Correlation != causation.

You arguments are quite absurd and Grey's are normally fairly coherent. (according to the internet, prior posts were his, but you sir are a drunk and a leper)

The sig is unchanged from the past, similarly to your avy, which empirically based studies have scientifically proved Greyseal9 initially posted. Google them, I won't do your research for you.

Your e-personality is simultaneously overconfident and weak. Must be why you are so easy to defeat!

In response to the topic, yes, I excel at both writing and grammar. I wrote and edited for the journal (or law review) when I was in law school, and I've been published a couple of times since then. If I didn't excel at writing and grammar by this point, there would be something seriously wrong with me.
