When I was younger I remember being in elementary school and having to triple-check my assignments before giving them to the teacher because I knew that I was a horrible speller and I would get marked points off for it. Even though I use spell check now on everything I do, I still read over my work all the time just to make sure it has no spelling errors in it. I also remember having a big problem with run-on sentences. Like the idea would just go on for lines and lines and my teachers would always tell me to keep it short and sweet. Recently though in college, when I gave my professor my paper to get some extra pointers on, she noticed that I used a lot of filler words in my writing and called me out on it. When she said it to me, I noticed that I don’t just do it in my writing but also when I’m talking to people as well. The word like is a huge part of my vocabulary especially when it’s a more casual conversation because I don’t have to be so proper with my language.
