Re LG I read and envy most of your journalistic skills and wish I could make myself that clear.
One thing I used to do was to write something and let it sit for a day, then reread and edit my original post.
To do that on the forum, copy a post from the forum to your word processor program and past the post to a blank page. Then make your comments or give your replies to specific questions.
If you want to cover completely new ground, type your post using your word processor program and do the editing with-in the word processor program. Let the post sit for a day or at least over night. Read it the next day and ask your self, if someone that was reading your post for the first or second time, would they understand the points you wanted to make.
Some word processors have a built in thesaurus and all have spell check. Microsoft Word has a grammar checker that makes suggestions, if you want to use it. When I was attending college, I used a program called "Gram-mat-ik" as a grammar and punctuation checker. I don't know if this program is still sold. My version works in DOS and Windows 3.1. Here is a Mac version that is for sale on eBay. Vintage GRAMMATIK I would imagine a PC version will show up sometime.
And you thought some of us were born with this gift, naw, we earned it the hard way.
I liked the program because after I made the same mistake 5 or 10 times, I learned what to do so I didn't make that mistake anymore. Practice, practice, practice, works most of the time.
Just a few suggestions from someone who used to write very poorly. The idea that practices makes perfect is somewhat right. Practice leads to improvements. Perfect seems to escape me for some reason.
naw, we earned it the hard way.
