I'm not posting this to pick on you or be mean, but most web browsers have a built-in spell check feature.  A red line will be drawn underneath most misspelled words.  You can then click on the word and chose the correct spelling.

I know for sure Firefox has this, not so sure about IE or other lesser browsers.

Just a helpful suggestion.

I assume this was because I noted it earlier, as the most recent one.

Like I said, general, I meant no harm. I did not know of your situation, and I don't usually say about such things to anyone, as you cannot change peoples ways to write suddenly.

Point on my post was just to note that hopefully you understand that it may have helped if you could have used little structure in your sentences, but if it's an issue, then it can't be helped. I'm not here to put up requirements, nor making remarks. I am afraid people will always be wondering it since no one is a mind reader or know the folks behind the screen, but since you say it's as it is, then that is the end of it.

Don't worry about it, General Shadow.

If people have a hard time understanding you, it is because they are just plain retarded and can't use logic and insert grammar for themselves to understand what you're trying to write.. Anyone who speaks/writes english -SHOULD- know enough about the language to make sense out of what you write, no matter how much grammar you use.

I personally have never had a problem understanding anything you have written.


People, Don't rag on him because your typing skills are better. If you have a problem with the way he types or you can't understand him for whatever reason, It's you who should work on fixing that, not him. It's your problem, after all. Not General Shadow's.



Just keep on doing what you do, General Shadow. Don't let these guys get you down. You're great.

Relax, I am not putting the blame on you or anything. Your posts were a little gruff and pushed me over the edge, as they say. As for firefox, my computer has it, it is just that I broke it with meddling around in the settings and cannot be bothered to fix it.


-Your new Paper is great, if you like feel free to PM them to me, and I will insert the necessary punctuation et all, same fashion as I did above.  No trouble at all, really great story's and happy to help. If you don't care, then no worries, just wanted to make the offer. Creativity should not be stifeled!

I don't know if this will help at all, but the only thing that I find slightly difficult about reading your posts is the lack of punctuation. Spelling for me has always been secondary to me, partly because I never was that great with it, but as far as inserting commas there is a little trick that may help get your mind on the right track.

Just before you post something, read it out loud. Any time you find you take a break in the sentence insert a comma, any time you take a longer break insert a period. I know it is VERY flawed system, but it is mainly just to start you thinking about it and that might be all you need to get the hang of it.

in my opinion some punctuation, even slightly misused, is better than one long sentence.

If you want I can help you go over English, however my free time seems to be dwindling away quite fast so I cant give any real lessons. Yet I would be more than happy to look over some things you are writing and give you some advice.

For as many people here who learned English as a second language, this simply should not be a problem.
