Great question! If you want to read up on it, Google “Derher purity of the mind” and you’ll find a great article explaining this.

Qwerty, he’s not great with English, and you’re not great with Hebrew. I’m not ch”v blaming you for the education you received, but everyone has their own priorities in what they want to be proficient in.
Personally, I didn’t receive any secular education whatsoever (no English, math, history, etc., not even until second grade) and with Hashem’s help, I’m managing fine for what I need.
P.S. I’m surprised that with all the secular education you received, you never learned about paragraphs. Your grammar doesn’t seem worth bragging about, either. I’m not claiming mine is perfect, but I’m also not mocking others for their lack of education. (And I don’t (claim to) write for the Jewish Press.)
