Okay, to help your English, here's some grammar rules you should use:
1. Don't abbrev. 2. Check to see if you any words out. 3. Be carefully to use adjectives and adverbs correct. 4. Sentence fragments. No. 5. Don't use no double negatives. 6. Each pronoun agrees with their antecedent. 7. Join clauses good, like a conjunction should. 8. Don't use commas, that, aren't necessary. 9. Its important to use apostrophe's right. 10. It's better not to unnecessarily split an infinitive. 11. Never leave a transitive verb just lay there without an object. 12. Only Proper Nouns should be capitalized. also a sentence should. 13. begin with a capital and end with a full-stop 14. Use hyphens in compound-words, not just in any two-word phrase. 15. Verbs has to agree with their subjects. 16. Avoid unnecessary redundancy. 17. A writer mustn't shift your point of view. 18. Don't write a run-on sentence you've got to punctuate it. 19. A preposition isn't a good thing to end a sentence with. 20. Avoid cliches like the plague.

I thought it was obvious, but there's a reason I put this in the joke section. Each one of those rules above breaks the rule it says not to break. ;D Nope, can't say I agree. Why act dumb when you're not?

I used to type really good. Sometimes i still do. i just use Word to make my assignments sound realy good. I can do it myself, but then that would be like slapping the computer programmer in the face.

i guess i'm just lazy when i'm typing so much. i only use capitals if i can be bothered, and i've only recently started using apostrophes and such again. lazy am i.

I think it is so disappointing that young people today take so little pride in the written word that they themselves produce.
