      One is either “very articulate” or they are not. There is no “…tend to be…”. This is like stating “I tend to be tall” or “I tend to be blue-eyed”.
      “Excel” should not be capitalized.
      The last thought is expressed redundantly. “…so I am going to say…” and “…in my opinion.” express the same thought. Pick one and lose the other. Eloquence is inversely proportional to how many words one uses. more »

      I realise this is semantics but since your ability to be articulate can, on occasions, vary depending on specific situations the use of “tend” isn’t wholly incorrect IF in most circumstances you are articulate whereas characteristics such as height and eye colour are generally unchanging in an adult individual and thus exempt. Just my thoughts on the subject  more »

      …. someone who is usually very articulate would likely be less so when they’re sick….or drunk….extremely tired! There are various situations in which an articulate person may not be so articulate.

      O.K. Fair point. If I were writing about such a situation, however, I don’t think that “tend” would be my first choice of adverb. I think “usually” or “normally” better describes articulation that has been impaired by some extraordinary influence. more »

      You are absolutely correct. Typo on my part. Don’t know how I could have transposed an «a» for an «i» as they are not near each other & I did not proofread what I wrote.
