so thats how i learned,,, yes i do make spelling mistakes but i am not as bad as my best bud Pluto who was born English hehe its just seems so silly to me,,when in difficulty normally he asks me how its writtenshocked and sometimes he has to tell me with his voice so i will actually understand the word he is saying LOL,,,i used to have a real hard time in the beginning when i first talk to him or even when he posted to other people,,i had such a hard time i sometimes avoided to read his posts cause it would give me head achesshocked **sorry there little bud** but when i really started to understand what he was saying is when i found out he was British,,,,,that in itself cleared most of the confusion,,he writes as he speaks the words,,which means the pronunciation would not be the same as the English the Americans speak,,and that is the English i speak n learnedsmiley once you know that its easier

and pluto you are such a great guy for laughing at this its a problem that would keep many people secluded cause they would be ashamed of it,,,,,I love you friend i really dowink

Instead of “am” you type I’m

Moor is more

But really, your spelling and grammar isn’t a huge problem. I mean.. The English language is the most difficult language to learn. We can have 10 meanings for the same word that differ from how you use it. The truth is, 90% of Americans use words wrong. Like “then” and “than” or “there”, their”, or “They’re”

I wouldn’t worry too much about it. *shrugs*

I know you never use to understand a thing I would put. I appreciate you taking the time with me. Apishly on msn where there is no spell cheek.

I use to be very ashamed of it and as a kid at school would hide my work why doing it in class cos of how bad and ashamed I was.
I think the older you get the less bothered you are about what other ppl think of you.

I have been told by a teacher that I would of been better of living in america because I spell things how I would say them. lol

Well I did have a dyslexic test at school and if I had got one moor thing wrong on that test I would of been classed as dyslexic. Back then you ether was or was not. They was not different grads in it. So maybe that would explain a lot.

I have only had a PC for not even two years and be for then did not even know how to turn one on. I do think if there was such a thing as the net and computers how they are now when I was growing up that things would have been a lot different in how I spell.

See the english language has never been logical to me,, I mean hidden letters. what the fuck is that all about. Math makes since to me and I am not brilliant at math but not bad ether. But you know where you stand when working out a sum. Its logically.

And I don’t worry about it any moor but I would like to improve on it. Improving ones self is something we should always strive to do. Am just trying to improve a weakeners I know I have.

Also there is a lot off ppl out there that have a problem with grammar and the english language. See this may make them less bothered about talking to ppl on the net.

As you say as long as the other person understands what you saying who gives a fuck.

I’m going to do my best. English has a lot of dumb rules and stuff and me pointing them out all at once might be confusing and overwhelming. So what I’m about to post, don’t try and soak it in all at once.

pluto wrote: Some of you guys may have tried to work out my grammar on moor then one occasion lol.


It has been pointed out before but I’m going to try and help you all around here, try to make this your go-to post for help. “Moor” would be more. Also, a common mistake even among people who are pretty good with grammar is then/than. Saying the difference is kind of tricky, but here’s the best I can do: “then” is used when referring to time. Such as “first we did this, then we did this”. “Than” is used when comparing things. In that sentence, you were comparing “one” to other occasions we might have had to work out your grammar. The correct form of this sentence would be

Some of you guys may have tried to work out my grammar on more than one occasion lol.


Well I have made this for you lot lol You tell me if I ever spell something wrong and give me the correct spelling and grammar and I well try to learn.


After the “lol” should be a period, since the “You” after it is capitalized. Also, the “well” there should be “will”. “Will” is a verb, “well” can be many things, like a water well.

Well I have made this for you lot lol. You tell me if I ever spell something wrong and give me the correct spelling and grammar and I will try to learn.


Am doing it for you lot not me lol Its never been a problem for me to understand what I put haha.


Again, it’s been said but the word is “I’m” or “I am”. “Am” is a verb, and there’s no noun to go with it, so while we can understand it, it’s really not describing anything! “I’m” is a contraction for “I am”, with the ' (apostrophe) taking the place of skipped letters. Speaking of which, you use “its” instead of “it’s”. “It’s” is a contraction for “it is”. “Its” is a possessive word. A time “its” would be used would be like, if you’re talking about a dog, “its tail wagged”. Also: remember your periods.


I’m doing it for you lot not me lol. It’s never been a problem for me to understand what I put haha.


OK fist word I would like help with is

I always say “a nuff” What is the correct spelling for this?


Again, been said, but the word is “enough”. English is dumb with spellings that make no sense. Just remember your periods!

OK fist word I would like help with is

Plus anyone else wants help in this department your always moor then welcome to ask in hear.


“Your” should be “you’re”. The same rule as its/it’s. Next time you want to put that, try saying out loud “you are” where that is. If it works, put the apostrophe. If it doesn’t, it’s probably “your”. Also, a reminder on “than”. Finally, “hear” should be “here”. “Hear” is involving sound. As a trick, remember that “hear” has the word “ear” in it. So you hear with your ear! Nice trick eh? Another reminder on “moor”.

Plus anyone else wants help in this department you’rr always more than welcome to ask in here.


I have spell check but sometimes it tells me something is right when it is not. Like gives me the correct spelling for a different word that’s similar.


This part is good! Just put an “it” between “like” and “gives”. Remember, verbs need nouns!

This is a big one so here it goes! “Sean’s” would be talking about something a guy name Sean has! The word would be “since”. Reminder on here/hear and moor/more. Also, verb tenses should agree with each other! “Gave” is a past-tense verb, and “thinks” would be present! So instead of “thinks” you should use “thought”. “Posing” would be “posting," but that’s not a big deal. Hear/here rule! “Its self” is one word, “itself”. “In prove” is one word too, “improve”. Hear/here again! You have a lot of trouble with that one! Finally, in the last sentence, “who’s” should not be capitalized.


My spelling has improved since I got here. But there is a lot more room for improvement and no one should feel ashamed for struggling with something.

I think I hit just about everything. If you need anymore help just reply or PM me so I can get to it quicker! Good luck, English is a tricky language wink

As long as people understand what you say, who cares?

If you were writing some sort of essay, yeah, your grammar would have to be good, but its the Internet; grammar means jack shit here, except for newbs who can’t back up an argument.

Besides, its English. Yeah, its logical, at least until the mass of exceptions come into play.

WOW! I didn’t expect all that. Am gob smacked.
I Thank you for all that. This feels like am replying back to a teacher are something lol.

A lot of the time I do know that some of the grammar is wrong. Just like most on here I write in my own way as well. Like when I put something like, “Like I would like to do that” I would put maybe? “I would like do that” I know its wrong but do it cos it makes it a bit moor fun to read and write.

What I was most wanting help with is the spelling part like “hear” is “here” and I know now how to spell “since”. And of course “enough”.

This here is helpful. Its that sort of thing that would make me remember.

Atresac wrote: remember that “hear” has the word “ear” in it. So you hear with your ear! Nice trick eh? Another reminder on “moor”.


Here is an example in how I remember big words like “necessary” A word that a lot off people would struggle with. I would remember, Never eat chocolate, eat salad sandwiches and remain young. That saying and other sayings for other difficult words I fined is a good way to remember some words.

I Thank you again. That was very decent of you taking the time to write that up.
