I have noticed that there are a lot of typos, spelling errors, and grammatical errors in the messages here, and thought I'd post a little file about the proper use of English. Hope it helps. —————————– Pleeze Rite Good People what can't rite good haven't got no excuse. The rools of English grammer and speling isn't all that tuff to remember. 1. Don't use no double negatives. 2. Make each pronoun agree with their antecendent. 3. Join clauses good, like a conjunction should. 4. About them sentence fragments. 5. When dangling, watch your participles. 6. Verbs has to agree with their subject. 7. Just between you and I, case is important, too. 8. Don't write run-on sentences they are hard to read. 9. Don't use commas, which aren't necessary. 10. Try to not ever split infinitives. 11. Proofread your letters to see if any words out. 12. Corect speling is esential. Regrades, Larry.
