Remember:

Women is the plural of woman; woman is singular. E.g. "I love that woman" and: "I love those women."
A question mark denotes a question. For example: "Yes, but I am the Virgin Mary?" or: "You're an idiot?" may seem to be an attempt at a rhetorical question or to exaggerate sarcasm, but it's still incorrect. Correct use would be: "Who is she? Who is she? Where did you find her?"
Paid is the past tense of pay, as in to pay someone money. Payed is the past tense of pay, as in to pay out (let out) ropes.
S is the verb, c is the noun. For example: "you have the Military of Defence which provides defense," or: "your dental practice will practise dentistry."
Whose is the possessive form of who, who's is the contraction of who is. E.g. "Whose habbo is that who's causing a riot?"
There, their and they're. There is used generally to point something out, e.g. "look over there!" Their is the possessive form of they, e.g. "That's their house." They're is a contraction of they are, e.g. "they're moving house."Okay, you're welcome :)!

Good. Seriously, no one cares if you forget a period at the end of a sentence. If you spell something horrendously (ironic?) wrong, someone will point it out but still shouldnt make a big deal out of it.

There are lots of grammatical issues you didn't raise, but I wouldn't expect you to list them all, English is one of the most difficult languages to learn fully because of the grammar rules.

She only posted some grammar/punctionation tips, she didn't say 'You have to follow these rules' or anything like that. Some people kick up a fuss about anything, seriously chill out will you people. It's very hard to get grammar perfect but at least if you make an effort people are more likely to take you seriously.

I agree Ant. English is a gift and by far the best subject taught in schools; that's why I am expected an A**************** come results day in August.

No, I don't think so. Just because a wide margin of people can't use them correctly, doesn't mean I fall into it. I actually listened in my English classes at school, hence why I am able to use them correctly.

I'm not a fan of Internet Users who prefer to forget about Grammar. It is better, however, to give Grammar your effort in e-mails, in forums and so on. On the other hand, myself, I am used to putting effort into Grammar, although I'm not tip top - when I'm speaking on messenger to my friends, I wouldn't put much effort into using my Grammar, but because I'm use to doing so, it won't look silly.

I have no problem really; I certainly don't toast others for making mistakes. I love the fact there's so much diversity on this forum and it would suck pretty bad if everyone excelled at english and were forever correcting others' mistakes.

I dont care if people use grammer or not. I just care if I understand them. If I understand them [easily], I dont care how they type.
