Awhile back you helped me with a problem with success.

My turn to return the favor, so let's see if my 9th grade education allows, I'll try to explain,and help you with an English problem.

First of all,any paragraph starts with the first word set in away from the margin. This allows for the distinction between sentences and start of another subject. [for some reason the forum won't distinguish where you put the letters]

You're (your indicates possession) going to have to educate yourself in more ways than (then indicates time, not amount) one. (punctuation error - comma blunder.

Also, paragraphs require more than one sentence.) First, when you see that kind of situation, you should always do some checking to see if, (comma needed to set off partial phrase) in fact, they aren't stealing. (Since this sentence pertains to the first sentence, it should not be separate and when properly combined with the first sentence, makes a structurally correct paragraph.)

It's really dumb for the owner to say(sentence is incomplete beginning with just "really". Also, the first letter of the first word of a sentence should be capitalized), "Oh, someone (someone is one word, not two) took the key." (Statements should be set off in quotes, not parentheses.) You should say, "Yes, maybe the owner did." (same as above; also when used with 'and' sentence becomes a run on sentence). Then have it checked out.


Next (The first letter of the first word of a sentence should always be capitalized.), brush up on using paragraphs in a message. I see English (English is a proper noun and should be capitalized.)class was not your favorite subject(There should not be a comma before 'and'; removed comma and split into two, complete sentences.). It wasn't mine either.

Joe, here's your post after correcting all the grammar, punctuation, sentence/paragraph structure, and spelling errors.

You're going to have to educate yourself in more ways than one.

First, when you see that kind of situation, you should always do some checking to see if they're stealing. Its really dumb for the owner to say, "Oh, someone took the key.". You should say, "Yes, maybe the owner did.". Then have it checked out.

Second, brush up on using paragraphs in a message. I see English class was not your favorite subject. It wasn't mine either.

"I personally have gotten away from using correct English. I speak in,I guess to you, "Redneck" this seems to be the norm.

If we all wanted to think that Jay was wrong in his post, he would have never got a response because there was no period to end his topic,showing us he was still talking.

With good manners, we wouldn't have interrupted him.
