I didn't know file extensions can have @ and ! symbols in it. That's odd because a file name can't as far as I can remember.

Yeah the file name cant have any special characters.... i havent seen that extension before so thats why i was asking

it is also a symptom of many learning
disabilities. but in some cases it is also
just not being used to writing essays.
they are their own breed.

These are the only two essays of this type I've written in the past 5-6 years. So yes I definatly think so.

I also find the subject matter uninteresting, or maybe the subject interesting but the task it's self uninteresting.

I do though sometimes, when needing to think and then write, don't think of as much as when I just am thinking about something. It's weird, maybe it's the pressure of "I've got to write something down" that hinders me, when I'm just thinking I let my mind flow.

oh..and some people express themselves
better in drawing versus writing..an example,am i making
sense? ha! not every medium is right
for every person. for instance i have
a BFA degree so many people think that
means i can't spell or write well. most visual
arts can't, but that is not true.
just an example

well, I'd much rather draw a diagram, than put it in writing.

It depends on the uni, when I went to my first uni it was so rubbish. We were never given any advice on essays and just had a bunch of them thrown as us just as we started. At my current uni that just doesn't happen. There were seminars assoicated with an essay and people have to had good marks to get into the course where in my old uni there were a lot of mature students who hadn't written an essay since school. What learning disabilities are you referring to? Dyslexia (what I have) is one but the term learning disabilities can be used in the wrong context with people who are just plain slow! That pisses me off, so does people who say they have dyslexia to cover up the fact that they were never bothered to learn to read and write properly!!!

i do similiar thing. i have all sorts of ideas
and then when it comes to write. poof they're gone!
i agree the pressure to write something really
plays havoc. and the fact that you have to write
to please someone, ie the instructor, rather than
writing for yourself. i had to do that in history
courses all the time even though i disagreed with
the instructors point of view.

We had nothing on essay writing.

What is it in? That's so cool!!! How did you find it? Was it a lot of work because sometimes I fell like I'm going to have a nervous breakdown with my course, there's far too much work!

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of issues did you have with reading and writing that were related to dyslexia?

My work is starting to pile on this term.

oh yeah, coming back to school when you've been
out for a while really stinks! taking tests is even worse.
i was thinking of ADHD, and a few others that i am
aware of, but have no name that i am familiar with.
one is where you have the answer to a question, but
when you try to verbalize it you can't. this one has
something to do with the pathways between speech
and thought.
