This and These Type Posts Cause Posting Tension for Me !!!

Hello Educationalists,

I grew up with ADD and although I did well in school especially in Math, History, Science and Geography , Spelling , Grammar and Puncuation were always tuff for me.As well as public speaking leading my thoughts into sentencing has always been very difficult for me spoken or written by me.I also careered as a Pratt&Whitney Aircraft Machinist for 25 years a job low in reading and writing , mostly facts , figures and measurements.I also have many insecurities on the computer learning and using it properly. A post like this and there was one on ML also only adds to my posting insecurities. I feel I have alot to give to this site as there are feilds of this hobby that I do excell at . But I am not a writing machine as most of you profess to being I am a facts and figures type guy.I now want to say that the answering of Questions posted with the correct technical facts and figures should far outrange the grammarfication (my hate word made up )on a site of this type . The actual information being passed should be the most important issue.There was a long post just like this on the other major site last week and there were three names posting in that post about how important grammarfication was also.These three names caught my interest as I noticed they were worried about this issue , I found it funny because I never read any of their posts because they are lucky to get %50 of there answers to to masses correct. There are a couple that post on almost every site everyday I believe just to see themselves up there and I often wonder what refrences they are using to obtain their facts.I call them the Calvin and Hobbs refrencers. Well there you have it I am one of the most worst grammar posters out there and thank you for spoiling my interest in posting on such sites , I never realized I was insulting your reading pleasure.Although I am asked constantly to do reviews and articles for books, magazines and sites this is the reason I don't . I will now probably stop posting completely so that you people can be more relaxed . Thank You .
