Title: Make my job easier
Post by: threefingeredguy on August 31, 2006, 03:14:00 am
I've signed up for the wiki for one reason: to correct spelling and grammar mistakes. Please help me out and write things correctly. Use a spellchecker or type it up in Word and see if you get the green and red lines. Thanks.

I'M really sorry for this :(sad.gif Its because I'm not english native so I tend to do lot of mistakes. As for the others I guess it could be easily done if they have MS word (which I dont have)

It's ok. I'll post a list of some ways to help specifically.

Run it through a spellchecker. http://www.spellcheck.net/ will work great.
Remember the difference between homophones.
"Your" means that you are referring to something that belongs to someone. "Your sprite" or "Your program".
"You're" means you are. It's easy to remember because of the apostrophe. "You're going to need to" and such.
"It's" means It is. Its is possesive. Remember "his, hers, and its".
Some mistakes on the site that I've already fixed are "Draw's" and "give's". Unless it belongs to someone named Draw or give, this should have been "Draws" and "gives".

I'll post more common mistakes when I see them.
