Because I quit high school in the first month (8th grade graduate) I now write (partially) to teach myself the proper use of English. It’s trial by error, or akin to a musician lacking formal training, that is in other words- learning by “ear”.
I don’t think formal education was my forte’. LOL!
I like to DO stuff. ;0) But, I DO like to learn (interesting things).
Thankfully, there is spell check and grammar apps that correct our written blunders.
Well I have a bachelor’s degree and half an MBA, and I still have problems with grammar and spelling. I taught at a college for awhile, went to a teacher’s thing, and learned that spelling has nothing to do with intelligence.
If I could have made enough money at it, I would have trained horses for my career. I was good at it. But I had kids to feed.
P.S. my dad had an eighth grade education and was a very smart man. But not politically, sadly.
