unacceptably inadequate writing

[Blue Chipper]

When casually writing, don't overly exert the use of rottenly overused adverbs, as they are usually apt to thoroughly command butt seks with your presumably foremast point; it can easily take away from the effectiveness grandly.

Revised:
When writing, don't employ adverbs in excess, as they tend to diminish your vital point/s; it makes your point hazy and apprehensible.

I'm sure nobody writes like that, but I've noticed that I do, and have through most of my educational career, as no one has taught me otherwise. But, luckily (there's the little devil), I've caught the error and made my writing skills more powerful; by using adverbs, and adjectives too, only when it's absolutely (see) crucial, and gave verbs the main role of the sentence.

The American education system is shit. My brother was in 11th grade and was never taught what a thesis statement is, or what a legit introduction paragraph is. I was, but that's because I was in Pre-Ap English since the 7th grade. And when the total Pre-AP, AP population of a school numbers less than 5% of the students, that means 95% of the students going through normal English classes aren't getting taught half the shit they really need to learn. Like how to construct a fucking essay.

As far as word usage...I always had a pretty large vocabulary, so I often use bigger words than often is necessary. But I never overuse words. It's usually a problem of the word/syllable ratio.

I was in AP english as well. Even though it was ap, they still proposed using adverbs excessively.

As excessively as in that above sentence? I can't think of one of my AP English teachers that would have taught that.

Maybe not that excessive, but everytime i'd write something flooded with adverbs, she'd praise me. I look back on some of the stuff I did and think it was silly, becasue I always had to insert an adverb.

I heard you say you wanted to be a doctor, and I want to be something in the medical field as well; Maybe not the magnitute of a doctor, but something of that sort. Just thought it was funny how we both are "seemingly" advanced in english, and aspire to be similar things.

voraciously....

I use proper grammar and punctuation, even when I may be drunk.

I think modern English classes stress writing creatively over writing effectively nowadays. Most of the time, I notice that history and science teachers will tell you to just "Get to the point, this isn't English class", which indicates a problem there. English classes seem to want to teach you to write stories more than effectively argue a point.

Right. I can make nano-bots and artificial organs that are made from your own stem cells, or jump into Med School. I'm leaning toward Med School though.

Which is a problem when you get to college, when any teacher of any class will say "Yeah, I'm not shifting through all those fucking adverbs and adjectives to find your point." They'll flunk you on the paper before they read all that.

Aye. This is what I hear from most people, which is why I write English assignments just to get an A, and I take my history and science writing much more seriously. I figure the latter two will be more helpful in actual collegiate writing.

Which is important, because the medical fields require you to have a higher than average grasp on the English language. You have to take in the hyper complicated medical jargon, then regurgitate it to the patient in a way they can understand. You really need a broad vocabulary for that. Hence the writing portion on the MCAT and the fact that all Med School require at least Comp I and Comp II in college.

 

[Blue Chipper]

Harthan's spot on, which may explain why I was having a problem.

 

[Razor]

You should. In a matter of years the Organ Transplant list can be nearly non-existent. Also, the nano-bots can be programmed to target cancer cells, potentially getting rid of tumors that were previously inoperable.

Agreed.

There's a problem however, with me wanting to get involved in a potentially active social enviornment: I have a minor speech impediment. Not a lisp, I can't pronounce the letter "r'' correctly, it sounds closley to a "w", and I have took a speech class; it only helped somewhat. I can say everything else clearly, but I have sort of a phobia of saying the "r" words, and it would require me to say them extensively in a occupation as this. I felt I could share this comfortably with all of you guys, as you seem respectable. That's my biggest fault. I'm healthy, somewhat intelligent, etc. but this is just a psychological horror for me, as i'm different form everyone else and have to live as such.

Just work on it, over and over and over and over and over and over.

I had a speech impediment with the various "r" sounds when I was in elementary school. I still sometimes say "wabbit" or "aligatoe" without thinking about it. You just gotta stay on it and work, work, work at it.

I do, I just get turned off and aggrivated with it easily. Everyone tells me it's minor and shouldn't worry about it, but it effects me in a lot of ways. Mentally and socially.
