"Mr. Sternberg, you should never again attempt to write anything in the English language. It is clearly not your native tongue." - Thomas R. Button, my 3rd-form (9th-grade) English teacher.
Wow, I thought that if lack of exposure was the problem the teacher's job was to fill in the holes in your knowledge so that you _could_ perform the desired skill, not tell you never to do it again.
