Reptile & Amphibian Forums

well my readingis what realy surprises my teachers i am able to read a book and reamember what i read thats why i am able to ge almost above 90% on all my tests.also i am a kid who likes to read i am not a kid who wasts his/her life away at video games.i can tell you anything frome the harry potter books same as the lorf of the rings and shannara series.also about my spelling i spell the word it may not be right but you can understand it.
also if you are a adult as you clame to be act like one.

I have read and answered some of your posts. I understand what it is to be a fourteen year old with a brain. They hated me in pet shops when I went in and knew the Latin and knew how to ID fish and reptiles that the owners didn't know. That is why I am so suportive of you and others who may not spell like champs-posting here.

However...There is good advice being directed to you here. When you leave High School and go out in the Real world, you will be measured by your capacity to communicate your thoughts clearly. It will definitly affect your earning capacity in any job when written work is required.

I am not a champion speller either, I have to work at getting everything I write down correctly, especially since I am in the business of writing. I can tell you that bad spelling can be overcome if you are willing to work at it.

I don't think these people critisize (for the most part)out of meaness. So there really isn't any point to being so defensive. You say you are a 4.2 student. I was only a 3.54 in school. If I could improve my spelling, you can too.

One advantage on these forums is that unless you tell, no one knows anything about you...including age. That is why your skill at comunicating matters. It is not just what you say, as much as the way you comunicate those thoughts that makes the difference in respect.

That's just how it is....
