Hello,

I decided I'd make a thread dedicated to pointing out typos and how to fix them. Only comment if it is something helpful to the thread, I don't want to get a grammar nazi flame war started here.

OK, so let's get started.

1. To/Too/Two:
"To": expressing motion in the direction of, ex. "I am going to NYC." ex. "I am going to show you how to do this."
"Too": also, ex. "I like potatoes too."
"Two": one more than one, ex. "There are two varieties."

2. They're/Their/There:
"They're": contraction of "they are", ex. "They're going to go eat tonight."
"Their": two or more things in possession of other things, ex. "Their food got cold."
"There": at a specific location, ex. "They are going there to eat tonight."

3. Proper use of commas:
To make a list: "They like apples, bananas, and oranges."
To connect two independent clauses: "He tried to make a sandwich, but failed terribly." (replace "but" with any other conjunction, like and and since)
To set off introductory elements: "Attempting to fix the error in his code, he quickly realized he'd need help."
To set of inessential elements: "The Golden Gate Bridge, which spans the Golden Gate, is deteriorating."
When listing only two items, do not use a comma: "They like apples and bananas."

4. Punctuation:
One punctuation mark at the end of each sentence: "This is my new home."

OK, so that's it. Anything else I should add? Please leave a comment telling me if I missed something important.

GoodGuy17,
You would have a fit if we started yo use hacker text or even shorthand.
Why dont you use that corrective energy, and become a teacher or something.
You know. Get a job where someone may care!

[GoodGuy17]

Well, Scottie, maybe I would. What's it matter to you?

I don't want to be a teacher, 'nuff said. Did you not read the first sentence of my post?

Maybe others care. I know you're a mod and all, but I am starting to dislike your sarcastic remarks on all of my (and my friends') topics.

Don't take this wrong way. I'm in a bad mood now and have had a long day. I'm just saying, I wish you'd stop insulting me and my friends on here.

so just because I am a MOD means I can not have a personal opinion?
Bad mood or not. You seem to have a bad attitude!

[GoodGuy17]

Well, I'm not going to continue to argue. For the sake of all readers of my topic.

But I am getting +reps for this topic, so I thank all who +repped me.

You are so right about this GoodGuy17; scottie is not a good mod. Mods should help instead of posting thinks like

Clanc789 wins the idiot of the week award... etc etc

That isnt helpfull at all. And dont delete this post because its true!
