does natural talent exsist?

[enriquetnt]

Natural talent DOES exists, but limitations do not, no matter how tone deaf you are you can force yourself to play any instrument in the world trough hard work and practice, no matter how bad you are at math, whit lots of practice an time you can hack anithing, (i should know im both tone deaf and dislexic wich severely impairs math and playing musical instruments, i beat math, and now im better at it than most regular people, and i can play piano by memory and extreme amounts of practice, dislexia does get you wondrous memory and far better attention and focus than normal people so its a fair trade-off)

ive been thinking alot about this and here goes

im in this situation in where my mom says that i have natural talent in guitar, a hobby i hate (been playing for 3 years) that shes been pushing onto me. im thinking its not natural talent with musical timing. its from years of gaming and playing rock band

how ever her unbreakable influence(also which i fucking hate) over me has me convninced that natural talent exsists (serioulsy she can convince me of anything and i hate it with all my being)

so do you think natural talent exsists?

It absolutely does. But it's no substitute for practice and tutoring. You might be a naturally better actor, singer or artist than other untrained people you encounter but most professionals will be better still than you are.

The plural form of genius is genii.

No, it isn't, unless you are talking about the specific divine beings called genii (singular form genius). When referring to people, the plural form is actually geniuses.

It really gets on my tits when people think that you can turn any latin word in singular form into plural by changing "-us" to "-i"...

I was misinformed by my high school teacher!

Shock horror, teachers are capable of teaching mistruths!
