The sad thing is that some people are absolutely terrible typists/writers. Two of my roommates are really nice guys, but they have a lot of difficulty spelling and using proper grammar. It's not as if they do it intentionally; some people have a lot of difficulty with linguistic skills. And English happens to be their torture (which is a stupid language in the first place, but that's a whole other issue).
My only issue is when people use letters to replace whole words, like when somebody says, "how r u?"

What I usually do when I'm finished typing a post I open up my 'Microsoft Word' program, copy & paste what I've typed, let it help me find my spelling/grammar error's, then proofread what I am going to reply with to myself. This is a sure fine way of helping one catch what grammar and/or spelling error's they missed.
Heh, this post has even been victimized by my ‘Microsoft Word’ program.

EX, do you mind if I put this grammar lesson onto a forum I'm moderating? There's a good number of users there who need to know what's what.
And of course, I'll give you all the credit for writing it up .

10-30 minutes have most likely passed between my clicking to comment and actually posting. Curse my habit of thinking how to word my posts for too long!

I don't know why, but for some weird reason I seem to want to make a Spanish version of this Grammar guide (Una Guía al Inglés Gramática) In other words I want to make an English grammar guide which would be a supplemental translation to this one, only in Spanish. That way we can get more people to understand what we are trying to say. Am I crazy for wanting to do this, and should I go ahead and do it? Vegetto, any thoughts?

I use the one built-in to firefox. However I have had more than one corrected post. My main problems is 1) I have Dyslexia. 2)When I re-read things, I often read them the way they should have been.

I don't have an "enter" key, but I have a "return" key that does something similar.VegettoEX wrote:( 7 ) PARAGRAPHS
Use the "Enter" key on your keyboard to create new paragraphs. Paragraphs help to keep your posts looking clean, and to separate different ideas. Here's an example:
Paragraph Example wrote:This is my first idea. I'm talking about a single idea in this paragraph, and I talk about it for quite a bit. I talk about this and that, all related to this single thing. It's quite important, and I'm glad that you're reading it. Thank you for sticking with me on this, because I really do feel you'll learn something.
This is a new paragraph in which I'm talking about something entirely different than before, or perhaps a different aspect of the above topic. See how clean the post looks? Things aren't all scrunched together, and it's simply easier on the eyes. We like things that are easy to read! They make everyone look so much more intelligent.
Also, If I were to make a forum with a grammar rule, would you mind if I were to copy-paste the original post? I'd definitely thank you for it.

Re: Re:
I know you wrote this a while ago, but I wanted to say that my boyfriend is dyslexic so from my experience the (2) there is actually an extension of (1). I proofread his organic chemistry labs for him last semester, and this went so far as him not being able to tell that where he meant to write some chemical name, he actually wrote "porpoise" (that was what the spell-check told him to use to fix his already misspelled chemical name). Like, he would look at "porpoise" and assure me it was the correct chemical name, until I read out loud, "Then 5mL of porpoise was added to the solution." This is a frequent problem and I am a terrible person for deriving so many laughs from it.SSJmole wrote:My main problems is 1) I have Dyslexia. 2)When I re-read things, I often read them the way they should have been.

Re: The Basics of "Daizenshuu EX" Grammar
"Mellow drama" is not a term.
The word is "melodrama". It is a combination of "melody" and "drama", because it used to refer to opera and musicals.

Re: The Basics of "Daizenshuu EX" Grammar
Since this has been popping up lately, and Rocketman has also posted a grammar correction, I may as well point out this mistake, which is one of my pet peeves when it comes to grammar.
"Could of", "should of", "would of", etc. are incorrect. They're supposed to be (word)'ve, as they're contractions of (word) have.
