Fortunately, langauge comes fairly easy to me (unlike math).
I'm jealous XD

Hehe, I certainly do hope you are able to achieve your dream one day.
It seems like we are total oposites then
. Math seems innate to me, whereas languages confuse the heck out of me.

There are a few people whose spelling is so bad I sometimes can't understand what they are saying, but that also to do with the fact their thoughts are so fractured that I woudn't be able to understand it if it was spelled correctly.
Noodle, I have never thought anything negative about your spelling and grammar. I think you are actually one of the better users of English here.

I guess my teachers in school were very severe then (Grammar Nazi's, perhaps?). Sometimes when I read over some of the posts I've written, I think to myself; oh gosh, there are so many mistakes and then I would remember how my teachers' laughed at my English when I was young
.
As for thinking someone is a teenager due to their written level, I understand. In fact, I agree! I tend to think from time to time that certain members are really young. But generally, they do turn out to be young teenagers.
