I Put a Grammar on You
Last week we premiered the series on increasing technical proficiency with the English language. If you missed it you can find the update here. Hopefully none of you learned anything new, but I never can tell with you bloggers. turtle_07 brought up a somewhat interesting point via comments: "But what aboat [sic] things that don't have spell checkers?"

That's a rather stupid question, but then the piece was intended for rather stupid people. In other words, you. Since I have long since learned to assume the worst with you all I shall now present a brief guide to spell checking without the benefit of the tools provided by Blogger and LiveJournal.

Allow me to introduce you to my good friend Microsoft Word.



Microsoft Word has a handy dandy function that allows you to check the spelling and grammar of everything you've written. Essentially what you want to do is type up your entry in MS Word, run the spell check and then copy and paste the entry into the little box where you typically enter the loathsome drivel that passes for your blog. Hopefully the diagram below will be enough to point out the location of that that useful little tool.



Once you run the spellchecker you'll probably get a screen that looks something like this.



Take a look at the suggestions, but remember that they aren't always right.



And remember the guiding light, lest we forget the glory that be Lemon Party.
Because your blog sucks.
