On the other hand, what the other user deducted was:

* If you attend college -> You probably end up writing properly

* OP doesn't write properly -> He probably didn't attend college

Which is a proper logical deduction rule called modus tollens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modus_tollens

I apologize in advance for nitpicking, but since this sub-thread is about usage: it should be "deduced" not "deducted."

Thanks for telling me, English isn't my first language and I often make mistakes. I can't edit my comment to correct it.
