User blog:Princess Callie/CalasanX's guide to grammar and spelling...ish.

I just figured I would do this since there isn't much else to do. Anyways, on with this guiding blog post meant to help any admittedly bad spellers and grammar people.

1. Use an external program with Spell Check. Microsoft Word, for example. This REALLY helps with common mistakes and things. If you can't, use an online spell-checker. There's a link for one in the Quality Standards, if I'm not mistaken.

2. Common mistakes one should avoid: 3. Sentences should be not too long, but not too short. Put in some description or something! Don't put just a single action in a sentence... ALOT of those kinds get Marked for Review.
 * "It's" is not a possessive pronoun. "Its" is the correct term. "It's" is a contraction, meaning "it is."
 * "Your" IS a possessive pronoun. "Your bike." "Your thing." etc. "You're" is the correct term for things like "You're busted." etc. It means "You are."
 * Remember to capitalize "I."
 * ALWAYS start a new paragraph when a new speaker appears. This isn't as big of a deal as the others, but still. Grammar Rule.
 * Include a space after a period. It looks jumbled up otherwise.

4. EVADE. THE WALL. OF TEXT. Use paragraphs. Plenty of paragraphs- paragraphs galore!

5. Use the semi-colon. Two independant clauses do not get connected well with a comma. Just saying. Again, not as big a deal as others.

6. More common mistakes one should avoid (spelling this time): 7. Don't rush. When one rushes, it causes mentioned mistakes above. Take your time; the Spinpasta Wiki isn't going anywhere. (Unless it is but I didn't get the memo. :P )
 * Necessary is only spelt with one "c"
 * Possessive two "s"s. (On each side)
 * Don't use "ain't" outside of dialogue, unless it's a person's point of view. Use "aren't" or "isn't." Again, not too big a deal.
 * Use synonyms. Try not to use the exact same word thirteen times.
 * It's "What?" not "wut?"
