JD Seller- when I first started coming to this forum I saw some of your posts and assumed you had at least a college degree, maybe even an advanced degree, as I read more of your stories I learned that maybe that wasn't so. I then assumed that maybe you grew up in a community that had maintained a strong educational system or had attended a parochial school that was a little more stringent and maintained higher standards in their language departments. I have seen quite a few rural Midwestern communities with a German background that placed a high value on their children's education, figured maybe you grew up in one of them. I have always felt you display above average intelligence in your posts and to an excellent job in tying a story together in a manner that both provides facts, expresses your opinions and holds the reader's interest. When you post dealing with a specific tractor or implement problem you are concise, clear and very easy to understand. You say your verbal abilities didn't come easy to you, maybe this forced you to better develop your writing abilities? Like many of the other posters on this thread I struggle with spelling and grammar, I go back and re-read a post and edit it trying to improve my ability to communicate. Years ago I wouldn't take the time. Yes I have a dictionary on my desk, while serving in the Air Force I carried a small pocket dictionary in my brief case and was lost with out it. Is it genetic for me? I don't know, both my daughters are above average in speaking, writing and reading abilities, I assume that comes from their mother. I am a college graduate and was an officer in the Air Force and often feel I don't write as well as you. But I went to a horrible High School in a community that didn't place a lot of value on education, our school board didn't think we needed an education to work at Oldsmobile hanging bumpers on cars. If we could sign our names on our paychecks we were adequately prepared for life. Michigan State University was pretty much known as multiple choice U while I was there, I think I only wrote 2 or 3 term papers the whole time I was there.
