write it in word then copy and paste over here. Also, writeing in full sentences. Capital letters, a subject, things like that. I don't know if you are one who does that but I know some people do which makes it really hard to read what they are saing.

Yes, the big thing is that you have to write in complete sentences, and don't forget periods. Also it really helps people read what you are saying when you type a full paragraph, and then skip a line.

Hope this helps!

so ill just have to be more carfull and use the dictionary!!!

Don't forget to use capitalize your letters that need to be. And don't forget these! (') **I'll**

You can copy and paste in Windows XP. Highlight what you want to copy. Press cntrl+C. When you're ready to paste, press cntrl+V.

I would definitely suggest typing in a "draft" in Word. There are some words you use that definitely don't "fit" in your sentence. For example, "I didnt know lots were thought." Did you mean "I didn't know lots were, though"? Though and thought are two very different words.

Also, when you're taking a verb that ends in -e, like use, and conjugating it to present tense so that it requires an -ing ending, you drop the -e all together so it turns out "using" not "useing."

English was my favorite subject in school, so if you want anymore tips or pointers, feel free to ask me. :)

I, for one know how hard it is. It has been a very long time, since I was in school. I have to sit and think for awhile, trying to remember how to spell some words. I always got 100's in spelling!!!!!!
Thank you, nice people.:)

Do keep in mind that spell check will let some words by in error because some words are "real" words but can be used in the wrong context. You mentioned in one thread that you "herd" someone. That spelling means to gather as in "My dogs like to herd other animals". What you meant was "heard" as in "I heard what you said". Spell check will let "herd" pass even if it's incorrect. Some computers have Spell AND Grammer check. Try not to get frustrated, English can be a very difficult language. Some people can still get confused between too, to and two.

Not to mention your and you're, and their, there, and they're.

At least you're trying to take corrective measures... :) Kudos to that!

I have noticed an improvment.:) Hmmm, maybe you should bring you computer in to get fixed, just in case it might get worse.
