Unfortunately, I am in a similar position. I feel I was never properly taught English despite being awarded an 'O' level in the subject.
For some reason, the school I attended was more interested in producing fodder for the factories than educating children.

My mother is Catholic and insisted on Catholic education for us (me, brother and sister). So brother and I attended St Joseph's Academy, Blackheath, south London. 1968 - 1972. De La Salle Brothers, who were ruthless with the cane and the strap. I learned as I didn't want to get a beating.

You're in the majority there (with me!). I remember speaking to a Uni professor a few years ago about how they spot plagiarism. He told me the number one indicator that work had been lifted straight out a book or off the internet was CORRECT use of semi-colons.
