Having the disclaimer seems to help me write more coherently, for whatever reason; compare the above post to this one for an example. There are still noticeable (to me) differences, though - my vocabulary is odd in a way that only anger or this kind of problem evokes (more unusual or overly specific words, fewer generalizations or 'fuzzy' ways of putting things), and I'm having trouble adding sub-points into the flow (hence the unusual number of parentheticals) and connecting main points together in the normal way. I know there's a more correct way of putting that 'grades 4-8' point in there than just tacking it on at the end.
That's interesting. I distinctly remember reading your comment, leaving the computer, going about my business, and thinking that the idea that a deficiency could being selected for was an interesting point.
(But yes, while I understood your comment just fine, I do notice some awkwardness, for example, in the second sentence, easily fixed by just deleting the phrase "it's acting on".)
I definitely stand by the point; my ability to think logically is only mildly impaired, if at all. I generally expect myself to be able to communicate such things in a way that gets a less annoyed response than I did, though, or at least to be able to predict when I'm going to get such a response.
