<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 7684565, member: 103207"]OK, I'm going to give you a little advice on writing. Based on the post I'm responding to your first sentence is fine. I understand where your going. However, the rest of what you wrote should be broken down into three or more sentences. What your doing is creating run on sentences. I'm going to take what you wrote and rewrite it to help clear it up.: </p><p><br /></p><p><b>"I'm going to start making these short and sweet and get right to the point. This way you should understand what I'm asking or talking about. What matters most is that we all understand what I'm discussing. I'm sorry for any confusion I may have caused."</b> As you can see I took what you wrote and hopefully made it easier to understand. </p><p><br /></p><p>I want you to understand that I am in no way picking on you. I was born with a learning disability and when I saw what you wrote I quickly realized you were doing something similar to what I would do. I learned to review everything I write and see if it make sense. I still mess up though. In most cases I have to edit what I write or delete sections that don't make sense. It sucks but, there is no magic fix. When I went to college the one course that helped me the most was a technical writing class. The class focused on writing equipment manuals. The idea in writing operation or service manuals was on keeping it simple. Unfortunately for me my problem wasn't discovered until I was in 6th grade. This was back in the 1960's. So I was on my own. What's very interesting is that most people with a similar problem are left handed. This is also why you see a lot of left handed people in the trades like plumbing or construction. Left handed people are visual learners. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>I want you to know there are a lot of good people on Coin Talk but, there are also a few jerks / idiots.
