There is a general misconception that
(1) mathematicians are not good in English
(2) mathematicians are not good at writing .
(3) people that are good in maths use glasses.

First mathematicians know English rules even more than some of does that criticism their errors in English, but they pay less attention to applying them mainly because their focus is on the manipulation of numbers, shape analysis and critical thinking. A proof they actually know these rules is their ability to detect errors in their writing.
This might be true to some extent, but not all mathematicians have bad writing, some have good phychomotor skill.
The use of glasses is mainly as a resut of eye defect.

Mathematics is a universal language(not English) if you don't understand it you are at the mercy of those who do.

OP, I get what you are saying. However, the errors in your grammar here support those who believe that mathematicians don't know how to write or speak good English Language. I meant that you just proved them right with your poorly written English as above.

You just proved my points right too.
Reverse psychology.

Stereotype.
Na so Dem talk say people wey dey use medicated glasses dey Sabi book well well and dey pass exams in flying colors. I go meet optician, collect confam medicated glasses. Las las na brekete carry over I collect dat semester for school.

The number of errors i picked from your post validates the claims you have made. Further, it follows that you are good in mathematics. Weldone.

If you are confident of your grammar, make a complete sentence.

Well, its not general rule. it varies from individual to individual.

Someone with a balanced background wont have problems writing good english despite the high focus on the mathematical rules and theorems.

How do you know people who have balanced background?

If you're using your mathematical prowess to justify your dumbness in the use of English and repulsive handwriting, then you're nothing but a joke. I've seen mathematical gurus with impeccable handwriting and colossal knowledge of the English language. Stop the stereotype and register for an English class. Thank you!

I believe you need to register for a reading and Comprehension class, oh! before I forget, why didn't you use yourself as an example?
you also need a maths teacher.

Carry that mathematics go collect money frm bank!

I day use am.
I just collect some now.
How much u Don collect with your English?

Oga Mathematician, do have a nice day.

The fact that you can solve a few equations and proof does not make you a Mathematician.
A Mathematician that is not careful about errors is also a lousy Mathematician.

Good at

not good in.

Good at mathematics (specific)

you are good at something, and not good in

Please work on your grammar.

Let me school you
You are good in a subject and good at an activity or work.

Last time I checked mathematics is a subject
When used as subject you are good in it
When used as a process you are good at it.
and math is a process
You see the reason why I said they don't even know the rules of what they claim to know

Comprehension problem? Don't tell me you're that daft. Your comments on this thread made your persona quite glaring and I responded in that regard. I'm not great at math, but I don't open ridiculous threads to justify my lameness. That's stupid! OH! I almost forgot. Eighty percent of NL users are teenagers #SMH

I only believe number 3

Alright

Your claims are not entirely true bro, my sister is very good at Math, has a great hand writing and her English is topnotch too. The human brain is highly magnificent, limits are what we set for ourselves
