Hi!

I recently found this cool trick to help make sure there are no major grammar errors or typos in my edits. I like to do a quick draft of what I want to post on Microsoft Word -they have a feature that checks for the most common grammar mistakes and additional settings for style issues (under Proofing, there is a section that allows you to select whether you want grammar and/or style checked).

I understand that everyone makes typos, and grammar can be a big pain-in-the-butt, but it is really appreciated if you spend a few minutes before publishing an edit to make sure that the edit is in as best condition as possible (including minimal spelling/grammar errors). Nobody on the wiki is asking for college-level writing, but at the same time we expect that some of the more obvious grammar rules are followed (verbs are conjugated correctly, its/it's your/you're they're/their/there used correctly, capitals for all proper nouns and I, using proper punctuation, American English/spelling, etc.). Think of it like publishing an article for your school paper; you want what you write to be easy for your readers to understand, and using correct grammar is a simple way to achieve that.
