As to what many people here have said so far, I too agree that your grammar, punctuation, and spelling are very good. You're not slow at all.

I would say you are lazy.

Not lazy in the couch potato way, but uneducated (as another person suggested.) There's one more thing which hasn't been touched upon, however.

We are humans. We are not machines. That is to say even the most intelligent and quick-witted person can forget the simplest of things.

I don't know if it's true but I heard that Einstein didn't even know his own phone number for a time and when asked why that was he simply replied something along the lines of, "I've never needed to phone myself."

With that said, you would be silly to think you are supposed to remember everything you are ever exposed to. You may keep an alarm clock, but do you have an organizer where you can plan events? Do you have a Rolodex or whatever to keep quick notes/#'s on people? A small map of your country/city by your desk on the wall or whatnot would keep your memory refreshed of where you live?

Things like that. You can only know what you're exposed to. If your passion isn't politics (mine isn't either) than research what you need to come election time and vote (if you choose to) then forget about it till next run.

Also, if your mind is busy thinking about worrisome things ("need to wash the car, don't forget to grab this, oh I forgot about that") then the chances of you remembering what you're learning will be greatly diminished. Put your worries down on a note pad then ignore them till you are done what you are doing.
