Well there are multiple rules that mess me up while writing and in fact writing is very difficult for me to do. A lot of times I am too wordy and I do not get my point across in the most direct way. But, some rules that mess me up are spelling for sure, and probably transitions such as using words like however, moreover, and so on. It is very difficult for me to determine when I comes before e, which seems like a silly grade school thing. But this always gets me. I do not know why but I have always been horrible at spelling. I guess math and science are more of my thing, which is why I am a biology major and not an English major. I do not have anything against English. It is just that I can not seem to get it right or be creative enough. Also, using transition words are very difficult for me too. I have a hard time with getting my ideas to flow. Also I have a hard time with when and which words to put where in my writing. I also have trouble with independent and dependent clauses. I never understood which is which and what they are for and things like that. Overall I would have to say English and I do not get along all the time. I do want to become a better writer and to become less wordy so that way I can get my point across directly.
Don't feel bad. I was a former English major, and I actually tested into Honors English at OSU. I'm a grammatical mess though. I think you get your points across fine.
