Me, too. I started reading at an early age, so spelling and grammar came naturally to me. I always have to stop myself from correcting other people.

I can see that different interpretations of literature could cause problems, but since we usually discussed that in class, that was never a problem for me. I wrote things that I'm sure my teachers didn't agree with, but as long as it was grammatically correct and fell within the boundaries of the assignment (write a satirical story, 3-5 pages), I got good grades.

Interpretation is my problem. I never got poetry or literary symbols. I always just regurgitated everything the teacher said. That's not what I like. I like actually
understanding what I'm learning. Which brings me back to math: You either understand it and do well, or don't understand it and do poorly. (Although I'm sure everyone has tried BSing their way through certain math problems... I did that with those bastard trig identities until my teacher caught on.)
