Does anyone else get the same feeling?
I'm literally operating off of knowledge my high-school English teacher handed to me.

I miss when I wrote without correct grammar.
It's like my writing style got totally mutilated when I found out how to write correctly.

Me too. Studying how to write

>tfw most of your sentences start with "I..."

I am not fond of that.

That's probably because you're on an anonymous image board constantly replying to other people.

It's an easy fix. Just don't start your sentence with I, but if you can't do that, go back and revise what you've written.

no because i'm not english and i can always use "sry english is not my first langauge" as an excuse

Are you complaining about learning something while attending classes at an institution of learning?
>>
>>29656720
No, it's just my writing in general.
>>
I've been told my English is pretty good, but I really do beg to differ. Personally, when I type/write something out it just looks like a load of wank

Nice get by the way OP.

It's not really impressive when the get is just doubles

I have two big problems with the way I talk and write. First of all, I tend to horribly abuse the words "I dunno" as of late. Maybe I've just been more uncertain and self-doubting as of late, but I need to stop saying it every sentence when I'm freaking out, especially when I'm dealing with a friend who's freaking out whom I should pretend to be confident for.

Secondly, I'm pointlessly verbose. Brevity is the soul of wit, so I'm probably dumb as a sack of rocks. A big reason why I don't feel like I can be a great writer, at least not without working at it for a while.
