typos are the main problem but my spelling might be wrong sometimes? I use dictionary.com quite often to make sure. :)
Any ideas how I can get around my horrible grammar? English class was my worst subject. :|

Google's toolbar for IE or FireFox has spellcheck abilities for web forms - works here.

Hmmmm. . .can only think of asking family/friends to correct you. . .read 'good' books and when in doubt as to how/which word to use - pronouns vs adjectives i.e. he/his/him etc/et al. . . .sound/make a fuller sentence in your mind; sometimes that helps. . .and remember the difference between 'lie' and 'lay'.

It does not take precise knowledge of mechanics. . .but really, just a good ear. . .and 'educated ear'. . .to get you there.

OTOH. . .have noticed more and more frequently; as opposed to 'less', the wrong use of words when listening to the reporting of news etc. . .talk radio. . .

Another Liberal sin; was eliminating the 'diagramming' of sentences as a teaching tool for language.

That said. . .I make more than my share of mistakes as well. . .and I do love dictionaries ;^)
