((Thank you BlackKingX for making this... I believe this should be placed in all guilds))
Official Guide to Grammar.
Gunfire broke the pleasant tranquility of the early morn. A normal occurrence as NewbA knew that the trigger happy 128th mobile battalion awoke for early training sessions. Hauling a load of oil to his suit he heard distinct whistling sound of a bullet passing within inches of his head. Even though his ears were green he had been shot at in training. He knew well the feeling of a bullet coming deathly close to him.
Quickly he moved, remembering all that he had learned in training. Running as far from the oil as he could. For he knew if the oil were shot that his life would be taken with the explosion. Finding cover behind an old fork lift he retrieved the communicator from his belt.
"This is NewbA reporting! I have been shot at, I repeat! I have been shot at! This is no joke! Please send immedate support to my location!." Screamed NewbA, his voice was already beginning to grow horse.
"cn u rpete tht plz?" A squeaky little voice responded.
"What?! Who is this!?? Where is the commander?" NewbA screaming even louder now.
"cmmdr wnt ta lnch"
"What? I can't understand you! Please get the commander!"
"kay, i cn sea if i cn gett him."
"What was that?! What? I cannot understand you!!"
SOME TIME LATER
Sweat peels from NewbA's face as more gun-shots miss him by inches. The same squeaky voice fills the communicator.
"cmmder sais ta runn aought and sai thees wrds 'dun shut im a frnd'."
"WHAT!?! I CANNOT UNDERSTAND YOU! YOUR WORDS ARE MUMBLED!!!!!!!!!!"
"tats wut cmmander sai to do he say tose are teh magic wrds tat sut downe the kilbott"
"NOOOOOO I'VE BEEN SHOT!!! I'M BLEEDING"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Now children, do you understand the importance of using correct spelling and grammar? Your friends or family may be at risk. Your very lives depend on proper communication! Please, for your sake, and everyone around you, spell words correctly.
If for some reason your education is limited to the third grade, many options are available to you.
The most popular and suggested option is a spell checker. By performing a simple search on Google many spell-checkers are displayed. Any one of these will work.
Internet slang/incorrect spelling will be the death of you. So remember, be safe, spell-checker is your friend.

Note:: I know we are not all perfect. I often screw up myself. The mighty Blackkingx does as well, we all do. Just please use this guide when you can as a reference in case you are unsure of something.
The period .
The colon :
The semicolon ;
The comma ,
The question mark ?
The exclamation mark !
The parentheses ( )
The dash -
The brackets [ ]
[you] pronoun - This is quite the simple word.
Blackkingx, are you going to be home today?
You look excellent today!
[your] adjective - This is the same as the above except used as a modifier.
Your mobile is rusted.
Your mobile looks very nice today Blackkingx.
[you're] - contraction of you are, the other word that's mixed up with your.
You're going to die if you move another muscle.
You're a bad man Blackkingx.
[There] - Deals with location.
Don't go there Blackkingx.
Look over there!
[Their] - The possessive form of "they". It should not be used with he, she, or it.
Blackingx owns their mobiles with his awesomeness.
Blackkingx is their leader.
[They're] - Contraction of they are.
They're going to buy a mobile suit.
They're going to die.
Probably the most prevalent English mistake I make is comma splicing. A comma splice is when you join two complete sentences with a comma instead of just making them separate sentences. In situations like this you can also use a semicolon to combine them.
Ex. Blackingx visited his guild to see what was going on; he noticed the terrible grammar and asked Behaul to write a grammar guide.
[witch] - one that is credited with usually malignant supernatural powers; especially : a woman practicing usually black witchcraft often with the aid of a devil or familiar.
[which] - being what one or ones out of a group -- used as an interrogative
Which Mobile suit should I use?
[It's] - contraction of 'it is'
It's very cold outside.
[Its] - when a gender-less object possesses something
The mobile was rather large, although its paint was green.
[Were] - a past tense form of the verb be.
We were going to jump BlackkingX on the way to work.
[We're] - contraction for we are.
We're going to fight.
[Where] - location.
Where are you going Blackkingx?
[To] - preposition, or first part of the infinitive form of a verb.
We went to the hangar.
[Two] - the number 2
There were two of them.
[Too] - very, also.
There were too many.
_____
[A lot] - Several of something. Common spelling mistake "alot" is not a real word.
That's a lot of banana's you have!
[Allot] - To assign something, or the assigned space. Allot, allotted, allotment.
The allotment had flowers planted on it.

Well I dont really care about spelling unless you aboslutly can not tell what the word is. The other grammar is very important... ---------------------------------------------- ALT Codes(hold ALT down, enter numbers no space, release ALT and bam they appear) € - ALT + 0128 - ALT + 0129 ƒ - ALT + 0131 † - ALT + 0134 ‡ - ALT + 0135 ‰ - ALT + 0137 - ALT + 0141 - ALT + 0143 - ALT + 0144 • - ALT + 0149 ™ - ALT + 0153 - ALT + 0157 ¡ - ALT + 0161 ¢ - ALT + 0162 £ - ALT + 0163 ¤ - ALT + 0164 ¥ - ALT + 0165 ¦ - ALT + 0166 § - ALT + 0167 © - ALT + 0169 « - ALT + 0171 ¬ - ALT + 0172 ® - ALT + 0174 ¯ - ALT + 0175 ° - ALT + 0176 ± - ALT + 0177 ² - ALT + 0178 ³ - ALT + 0179 µ - ALT + 0181 ¶ - ALT + 0182 ¹ - ALT + 0185 º - ALT + 0186 » - ALT + 0187 ¼ - ALT + 0188 ½ - ALT + 0189 ¾ - ALT + 0190 ¿ - ALT + 0191

Remember Kids that the Typical Paragraph contains a Minimum of 3 Sentences now a paragraph can go on for many sentences but past 50 is to much.
Now when someone says something or speaks dialog The paragraph ends and you start a new one regardless of any rules example
Plebeian Steve walking jovially through the forest on a wonderful summers day notices a strange rock and exclaims, "Look that rock looks like John Lennon". (now a new paragraph starts)
The Rock yells back quite angry at being called John Lennon "You a**l Dwelling Fart knocker!". (after both characters have exchanged emotions and Dialog they can now talk in Dialog using just "")
"You fiend"
"You Blasphemer!"
(Now after a while of course it would get confusing so including "He, she, or it said" to that makes it much more understandable)
Now when your writing a paragraph you can't use double negatives such as
"I don't know Nothing!"
"I can't not do anything"
"I Won't Do nothing"
A paragraph always starts with a a space one click of the tab key,shows just how easy it is.
I can't remember anything else right now but I will edit this later
