Software to improve english grammer?

Hi Peeps,

Sometimes my grammer is some what lacking.

Subtle distinction of words sometimes escape me :confused:

Are their any good tools for improving my writing skills or is it a simple case of going back to school to improve them?

Thanks in advance to anyone whom can help me.

  • Surely you wouldbe better looking out for scots grammar courses, the English always seem to be absolutely unaware of the subtle nuances contained in their bastardized language.
    Just for one moment, thought I'd found my way.
  • Is this a mickey take or what?

    Grammer is spelled "Grammar"

    Their should be there

    Whom should be who

    Wouldbe is two words

    .........and scots should be Capitalised!

    To cap it all Bastardized is miss-spelt too.

    Well done, Mr P.

    Also,

    (1) Subtle distinction ........ escapes me.

    (2) scots grammar courses should be either:
    Scottish grammar courses or Scots' grammar courses.

    Remember though that the most important thing is to make yourself understood! The OP did do this.

    I have given up pointing out that Scotch is a whisky not a nationality! lol :eek:
