[FFML] Help with Ranma Meets the avatrons

[Adrian Tymes]

Sir,

You have asked for help, and then you have slapped it down.  Do
you have any idea how insulting that is?

Learning disabilities can be overcome.  It takes time and effort,
but you've had 10 years.  Maybe you can't change the past, but
you can start curing yourself of your disability now.

Yes, that's right: you can cure yourself.  Moreover, you are the
only person who can cure yourself; nobody can do it for you.

And we expect you to cure yourself before asking for help, out of
respect to the people you ask.  (Remember how I said your
response was insulting?)

Let me start you off with something simple: capitalization.  As
most beginning English textbooks can tell you, words are only
capitalized when they start a sentence, or they are proper nouns.
Proper nouns are words that refer to a specific person, place, or
other such thing.  However, "learning disability" is not a proper
noun (it is an abstract concept, not a physical thing), and was not
at the start of a sentence, so it should not have been capitalized.

Repeat the above paragraph in your own words.  You do not have
the type of disability that prevents you from doing that.  (If it did,
you would not have been able to form the words to ask for help
in the first place.)

It probably won't be comfortable.  You may feel like a baby for
having to do it.  But do it anyway.  (Hint: the part of you that
says it's wrong or undignified, is in fact lying to the rest of you.
Most of us do it all the time.)
