I would like people to put effort into their posts, and when you have many silly spelling errors, the effort just doesn't show.
Would you people please do a few things to help with this issue? Pretty please?
1. Use a spell check. Firefox has one built-in, and I'm sure others at least have add-ons if not built-in. There is really no excuse for having misspelled words in your posts.
2. Before posting, reread what you have written. Read it outloud if you must.
3. Use proper capitalization. The word "I" is always capitalized. The first letter of every sentence is capitalized. The first letter in names should be capitalized.
4. Correct punctuation. Use it.
I see some of the same mistakes made over and over. I hate to call out individuals on this, but it's not just one of you. It's most of the active posters here.
Your age is not an excuse either, so don't try it. Rose Hexwit is 17, and her posts show just what I'm looking for here. Thank you Rose, and keep up the good work.
Here are a few of these mistakes I keep seeing. I've pulled a few examples from recent posts. Please don't be insulted, I'm trying to help you.
...hugged back...giggled at the thought.
There is one thing. There are a couple things. Singular use "is", Plural use "are"
"Well which way?"
Lambzie looked up and down the street in a bit of confusion. He then realized the way and said "We have to go up two blocks, then a left and half way down." Then with a cheeky smile on his face, he asked "Should we race?"
Said, not sad. Don't use run-on sentences. You can start new ones to eliminate wordiness. Watch punctuation.
Aleam was being chased by a predator through the land.
...through the stress, he had collapsed.
or
He had collapsed from the stress.
Again it is "thought" not "tort."
"Scout, they may not be coming back...
"Scout, they're dead. The jackals would've killed them. Your parents love you, but they're gone. You have to understand."
they're = they are.
would've = would have.

Rereading your posts can prevent most of these mistakes. I would like for all of you to leave your past posts as they are, so you can hopefully see improvement in your later posts.
I would like all who took the time to read this in its entirety to post a reply saying "I read it."
Thank you for reading this, and thank you for role playing here. You are all very creative in your posts, and I do enjoy reading them and playing with you.
