User:Tai/Improve Your Grammar

 If you have been sent here, you fail at spelling and/or grammar.

How to improve your grammar
Here are a couple of common errors I notice.

Plurals.
 * There is no apostrophe before the 's' in a word made plural.
 * For example: It's "Plurals" not "Plural's."

Someone and I.
 * When referring to yourself and someone else, their name should always go first.
 * If you are confused as to whether you should say "me" or "I," think about this - Remove the other person's name, and would it make sense?
 * Correct example: Joe and I went to the store.
 * Wrong: Joe and me went to the store.
 * Wrong: Me and Joe went to the store.
 * Wrong: I and Joe went to the store.
 * Think about it. Remove Joe from the above.
 * I went to the store. Correct, yay!
 * Me went to the store. Wrong! Bad!

Run-ons.
 * Joe and I went to the store to buy some apples, but we decided that we wanted oranges instead so we decided to buy oranges but they had none left so we ended up buying bananas which didn't taste all that great but they were fine when we cut them up and put them in our cereal, but the milk was sour so it ended up ruining the whole taste so we decided to make eggs instead but they were all cracked from the previous night's party which about eighty people came to and about half were completely trashed by the end and Joe had had way too much Vodka so he spent the night with his head in the toilet while I was downstairs hooking up with his girlfriend, who was also pretty trashed, and it ended up with us spending the night together while Joe was laying passed out on the couch with a trash can next to him.
 * Get the point?


 * Commas. Use them.

You're and Your.
 * "Your" should be used for possessives.
 * Correct: Your grammar sucks.
 * Incorrect: Your so annoying.


 * "You're" should be used when saying "you are" shortened.
 * Example: You're so annoying.

There/Their/They're.
 * "There" is used to indicate position or presence:
 * The monk is over there.
 * There is some innovation in this build.


 * "Their" is for possessives:
 * It's their build.


 * "They're" is "they are," shortened:
 * They're really getting on my nerves.

There are five monks on their team, but they're still getting their faces pwned.

Simple rules.
 * I before E except after C (there are a few exceptions, such as "weird" and "their")
 * "A lot" is two words, not "alot."
 * Sliver Armor, not Silver Armor.
 * Assassin, not Assasin/Asassin.
 * Vengeful was Khanhei, not Kanhei or Khanei. Common mistake.
 * Heroes, not heros.
 * More later.
 * Lastly, oh my fucking god, just spell out "you" and "are." Typing "u" or "r" saves two freaking letters, that's all.
