The first thing that comes to my head when I think about my bad grammar is my spelling and my use of punctuation and capitalization. I have always been a terrible speller, something that runs in my family. Now i know that is no excuse, but honestly it is hard for me to spell. I love to reads so it cant be because I don't read. I am a fairly good reader and when I see a word correctly I read it correctly, but if I see it spelled wrong I still read it correctly. But I've been told that most people can do this so I don't have a super power of reading misspelled words. :(
For the punctuation, now that is just laziness. I'm used to the computer just doing that for me. In Microsoft Word, the program automatically adds in all the punctuation necessary so I don't even have to think about it. However, if I am hand writing something out I automatically put in the correct punctuation.
Fo my paper revision i chose the paper that i had the most troube with spelling because of all the technical science words i had to ues. (obviously this is a biology paper)
"Certain elements are essential to a plants growth and survival. There are two different types of nutrients plants need, micro and macronutrients. Macronutrients are the primary nutrients’ required by plants, Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium. The micronutrients are important for plant development and include: Iron, Zinc, Manganese, Copper, Molybdenum, Boron, and Cobalt. Without these nutrients plants experience abnormal growth, known as deficiency symptoms. The three most common are necrosis, a death of tissue, chlorosis, a yellow color in the plant, and stunting, a reduction in the overall size of the plant.
Our hypothesis is if plants don’t receive the proper nutrients, then they will experience deficiency symptoms. "
Correct. Sometimes that is just laziness; something we all need to move beyond in a writing course so we can succeed.
