I think it would really help to clean up the grammar and misspelled words if the admin's added a spell checker. If they don't feel like they should add one might I recommend using spellcheck.net instead. This will not only help you from not getting banned it will also help people to understand what you are asking/saying.

I think you should find a grammar and punctuation checker.

EDIT:
Much better Flantre!

Firefox 2.XX has an integrated spell checker. While it does nothing for grammar, it does help spelling.

I don't think it hurts to re-read your posts before you post them. It allows you to catch the errors you didn't notice when you typed.

Then there's always the mighty edit button.

However it never hurts to know how to write. For example: how do you think an employer or a college would want to higher/enroll you if they saw how you typed?

The pen (or in out case, keyboard) may be mightier than they sword, but only when used correctly.

I pity the fool who attempts to use a single-shot blaster against me.

If by Word you mean Microsoft Word, I agree. Just type everything into Microsoft Word/Other word processer and run their built in spelling and grammer checkers.

Don't you know sarcasm when you see it? I was pointing out an error in his post and being a real b**** about it at the same time.

Fuck that, you don't even need Google Toolbar/Firefox - just one or the other.
1. Googlebar is available for IE.
2. Firefox has a built-in checker - unfortunately since IPB is gay, you have to quick edit to make use of it.

In addition to everything said, if you don't know how to spell a word you use in this forum, maybe you should learn the correct way to spell it...
