Sup everyone, finally everything has started. One note of advice though. Some people are finding it hard to understand what people are trying to say or trying to do because of the lack of pronunciation marks and grouping of words that shouldn't belong. We ask that you tighten up your grammar. Nothing more than a small and simple request.

A simple way to do this is to get Firefox, it comes wit ha spell checking built in to help you people along with that particular problem. No grammar checker yet, but I pray for that day to come soon.

though that will fix the spelling, most of the problems aren't in spelling. It's things like:
well
we'll
will
through
threw
their
they're
there
there's also the use of the words 'then' and 'as' that is a bit bothersome. "As" can not start a sentence unless followed by a preliminary action that follows a coma... ex: "As she was eating cake, she threw away her fork."
"then" is to be used in a similar way. Though it can start a sentence, there must be an action or actions prior to that. You can't have the first thing to ever happen start with "then".

Yeah! ANd can we get rid of using *...* for actions! It's annoying for me especially cause I don't want to be called a grammer nazi because someone won't post RP sentences properly, no offence to anyone

I don't think it's being a grammar nazi to want complete sentences and proper english.

Thank you Heart Seeker!! Complete sentences, proper english, resonable spelling mistakes (if you have to make them, though we'd all prefer you didn't), it's little things! Like, I'll admit to this openly, I put up the sticky Literacy... I spelt writing wrong... I spelt it with two t's... thank goodness for my friend who was over and read it and corrected me, but still, stuff like that is acceptable, it's when there's the mistakes that I posted above. And for some people the use of your possesive pronouns and so on would be great! You can call people "he" and "she" or "his" and "her" we're not going to kill you, we might even clap!
