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.

Nice

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!

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!

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.

These aren't typing tips. They are Grammar tips.

Fixed.
