Why not just learn to write? You know, use the right words to convey information. Or is this about trying to impress people about how smart you are? Allow me to burst your bubble. You don't look that smart. I hope you are a high school kid who is learning and I salute you if you are, you do pretty well. If however you are beyond the first half year of a college degree, ask for your money back, they aren't cutting it.

Take a look at this site, the dung the education system puts out and tries to fraudulently look intelligent. PS. My wife worked for 40 years to get me to use the word dung.
