However, your writing style can understandably make someone think otherwise. Your punctuation is horrendous. Just gawd awful. Run-on sentences are just unacceptable. You routinely have subject/verb agreement errors, miss possession vs. plural, and generally appear to have no clue how to properly form a sentence.

That said, just because you don't have a penchant for prose doesn't mean you're dumb. I've known a number of very intelligent individuals that couldn't form a coherent sentence if their lives depended on it.

But nothing you're doing can't be fixed. Google "subject/verb agreement" and "possessives versus plural" to get those things nailed down. Figure out how to use punctuation. It'll go a long way.

He's had numerous offers of help with grammar and proofreading by members on here. He's also been offered tons of advice for alternatives to the written word that still make use of his passions (since he has problems with it). He's, evidently, uninterested in constructive criticism.
