Completely my fault. I don’t think verbally. I converted my thoughts into the first grammatically correct words to come to mind; it seems I did not actually convert them into usable language.
I joined awhile ago, however, I only started commenting recently. My handle is not a typo, although on many boards it is assumed a misspelling of ‘spiritless.’ When I run a Google search for my handle, I find mostly profiles I have created on social sites and wikis, some of which state my gender. Since I just drew attention to my gender, you can guess what it is without bothering to search.
In real life I am a student who is retaking English Composition 101.

You know, I consider myself to be a good writer, but I never managed to pass the first year Expository Writing course at Rutgers University. I just couldn’t get my head around the subject matter I had to write about, and I was left with nothing to say. Eventually, that damn English course was the only thing standing between me and graduation. I eventually got special permission from the Dean to take a course titled “Scientific and Technical Writing” instead of that damn Expos class, and I ended up with an A in the course.
I can hardly parse what you’ve written here. Are you trying to be mysterious, or is this my fault?
ETA: Thanks! That clears it up.
