First, a confession, I'm British and when I see people here typing English poorly it drives me up the wall, so I have been thinking about maybe making a thread to help people improve their English, (that wont be here though, only posting this here because most people here do actually have sense as well as silliness) of basically getting people to post parts of how they type it and going though how they're typing what wrong and such, and before you ask, this is a serious thing to actually help people who struggle with English on the server, just posting this first to get a idea of what people think about it.
P.S. try not to derail this, this is probably the highest visited part of the forum and I want a serious answer.

While I'm a mediocre abuser of text shorthand, there is most certainly a need for better grammar.

If you can manage to write a guide more comprehensive than the one above then please do, by all means.
A word of warning, if you do decide to do so, prepare for the comments from some disgruntled members.

Tbh I`m very happy if I find people in game who are at least able to speak basic English and not Uruss))).

If you have something that might be helping enriching my general word pool and overall sophistication I'd gladly make use of such.
On a very sidenote, seriously, Flood?

English, like all other languages, improves with use. The best help to give them is to actually engage them in conversation.

First, Curse you Cabulb, you ruined my plan, but I wasn't planning on one like that, I mean one where people post / message me their forum posts and I tell them what they did wrong on it and how to improve it, not just writing how words should be written.
Second, Junes.

Edit: Yes Cabulb I am ready to put up with the obvious amounts of idiotic and unhelpful posts of people that will come, and for attempting to burst my bubble, I shall add you to the top of my must pirate list.. as soon as I figure out how to pirate properly..

Flood is a lulz playground & threads that abuse its high viewership to bring non-lulzy subjects into it deserve 1 of two things: it can either, a: get the crap spammed out of it until people get bored with it & let it sink to the bottom of the memory hole, or b: the thread gets moved to where it belongs.
OP: What do you want? Make your choice

This is sarcasm isn't it?
If it is not you may need to brush up on your sentence construction a tad.
