Hello boys and girls!

I know for all of us English speaking individuals, typing in our native language can be a cumbersome and sometimes painful task.   Cheer Up! CrashMan is here to help!

. <- See that little fella? He’s called a ‘period.’  It is used to break up thoughts and statements in to coherent sentences.  Try sticking them in whenever your incoherent fanboy rantings start rambling on.  Now you’re typing with real class!

A paragraph is a group of sentences that all deal with the same idea.  Breaking your posts into paragraphs makes for a more enjoyable reading experience for all!

Letters have 2 cases: upper case and lower case.  For example ‘I’ and ‘i’ are upper and lowercase symbols for the letter i.  Use upper case letters at the start of sentences, for proper nouns, and when using the pronoun I!

‘Where’ is a word to describe the location of something, ‘were’ is the past tense form of the word ‘are’ and we’re is the conjunction for ‘we’ and ‘are’ 

“Were are you going” WRONG!

“We were at the soda fountain with Peggy Sue” RIGHT!

“Your” describes the ownership of something, “you’re” is the conjunction of “you” and “are”

“Your a prickish M$ fanboy, n00b!” WRONG!

“Your hair looks swell today Billy” RIGHT!

Use these tips and even you can seem like an intelligent individual online, and not the incoherent douche your friends and family know!

Here's another one for you: w00t!

Word of the Year 2007 - Merriam-Webster Dictionary. 

But w00t used correctly is perfectly fine. It is using where instead of were or we're that he is really complaining about. Basically, fix your grammar.

It is perfectly fine to use slang so long as it is used correctly, but using improper grammar makes it near impossible to read what these "cool" kids type.

While I'd like to see some civilized form of writing on the internet, I dont need to see capitals, periods, etc. I want to see words spelled correctly. Thats about it. We arent turning our forum posts in for grading. The internet is where I go to get away from school.

Don't forget there, their, and they're.

Oh, I already have a whole list of stuff for lesson #2

Uh, school shouldn't be the only place you use the language you speak correctly...

LOL Sadly, a majority of English speakers in the USA can't type correctly..

Great lesson all in all. I try to follow decent paragraph/sentance structure most of the time, however I have my moments. :/

I can understand typos or being in a rush, but the blatent disregard for the language runs rampant not just online, but all over the country. It's ignorance itself.
