Ha, I found this quite humorous. But Hannah Montana is right. Nobody is perfect. And I saw dozens of errors in this little story-thing. I enjoyed it though.
:D

Ah, you had many errors listed that have bothered me so much when I read stories on fictionpress, and in life in general. One thing you didn't have listed (and maybe it's just something that bothers me in particular), is when a writer uses a comma to separate two sentences (or independent clauses), instead of a period or semi-colon, or, in some cases, an 'and'. I think that's...a comma splice? Yeah, that. I hate comma splices. lol Anyway, nice essay. Now I need some sleep, as it's closing in on 3 a.m... Haha.

Awesome guide. Thanks so much for this. Very helpful. :-)

I think it's a lot easier to notice the mistakes in other people's work, because I know what mine is "supposed" to say. ü

Most people never use the word 'whom' when they speak, so it's no wonder that they don't know how to use it.

Merriam-Webster online is really indispensable for me, mostly because I can't spell, but it also has paragraphs on affect/effect, etc. when you look up the word and the nuances between words such as s beautiful, lovely, handsome, pretty, comely, and fair. (Now I sound like an ad.)

I can't finish a story either if it has too many mistakes.

This gave me a good laugh, and I loved it! I get so annoyed with having it in me to correct other people with their grammar and such; I just can't hep it.
[I mix up "to" and "too", though, and sometimes don't use semi-colons well...]

I'm sure this will help a lot of people. And it was humorous all the while, especially with the examples and the dialogue at the beginning of each segment. XD

Keep it up. ^^

This is really cute! *sigh* just when I have tons of stories I need to go through again... *facepalm*

*stare at my stories* despair...

I definately hate punctuation... especially I don't quite know when I need to have capital after a dialogue. "...", She?

Anyway thanks for this cute little guide... *am about to cry from all the corrections I must do*

Hey,

I really liked this. Not only was it funny, but I learned a thing or two as well ~ and there I was thinking that my grammar was perfect! :)

This really helped!!
Groovy stuffs...
=D =D =D =D =D

I really enjoyed this! Lols, after reading it I'm glad to realize that my grammar isn't as horrible as I thought it was.

Haha! YES! Fictionpress should put this in their TOS and make every new writer read it. :)

And not a grammar/spelling error in sight. Rock on!

This is really helpful! Annoyingly, I myself am pretty obsessive about grammar, but I do sometimes get confused with 'whose' and 'who's'.
Just wondering, would you mind if I linked to this on my profile? I get a little bit of grief when I review fanfictions with advice on sspelling and grammar, so it would be useful to be able to link the writer(s) to this.
Thanks!

Also the words two too and to and tea and tee

Maybe you should talk about the opposite problem, when someone gets too comma happy.

Oh, and having friends read your works isn't always the best solution, it's best for a stranger to give you a read over, so there is no chance of any biasness.

ah...good thing indeed! I'm looking for some beta that is kind enough for some questions. Can I contact you sometime for that?!

I also learned just, a barrel, from this. GJ!
