I am laughing so hard I have tears running down my face! (OMG don't take that the wrong way!)

I took my English Language exam two years early. After that the school had to do something with me when everyone else was in their English lesson. I got some very interesting teachers, physics, biology, chemistry, Latin, French, P.E and pottery teachers, to name a few, on a "free period" as my tutors through those two years. Basically everything I had learned seemed to be an excersise in what not to do when writing. I saw the merits of this, if you want to say something just say it and don't go around the proverbial bush was the general message. If you have told your story well enough then people don't to read HOW something was done or said, they will KNOW.
After two years of this it has never left me and I know I am guilty of being rather "medical" in my approach without taking into account the context or style.
The bare facts, don't dress it up.
I also find that when I try to dress it up I become confused and tend to ramble...oo, there I go again, starting to ramble...

Thank you for understanding. I am finding the more I try to explain my lack of tact and insensitivity the deeper I get myself!
(My doctor speaks to me like that so I have never been brave enough to actually read what has been written about me! Good for you!)
