You only need to be afraid if you are going to say something offensive and not constructive.

If you are going to write a post for Pokemon, use it to practice for school so you can improve your writing while doing your hobby. It just doesn't make any sense to not take 2 more seconds to make your sentences correct. It makes you sound stupid, too. If you take time to correct your sentences (it really does not take long), it will begin to come naturally, and you will be so far ahead of everyone else in your grade from practicing everyday that their writing will look junky to you (not to pick on Serebii, but come on, he must type without looking at the keyboard or reading what he says - is THAT how you want to sound when you submit a paper IRL?)
Also, I don't like how people are afraid to express their opinions here. Why are you all afraid of telling what's on your mind? Do I look like the kind of person who would ban you for disagreeing or saying something I don't believe in? I'm not like Serebii and some other people.
I use Firefox as an internet browser and it has that basically inbuilt into it. It tells me when I make a spelling mistake and I can easily fix it but it doesn't seem to do anything about grammar. Now apart from that I really don't see why Pokebeach should go out of its way for members by installing spell-checkers when the members can just do that themselves. All that is being asked is for people to pay more attention to spelling and grammar instead of just rushing a messy post.Absol said:

You're refering to me. Well, I was afraid that you would ban me, since someone commented on the site's layout and you tempo banned him. But, you did not ban me, since I did elaborate on what I wanted to say, unlike the person who only said that the layout sucks, and did not say how it sucked. Well, IMO, there should be some sort of word editor, something that MS Word has, like those in-built machines that checks one's spelling, sentence structure, etc. Maybe at every new reply page, there is a button which once we click, all our typo errors and identified? This way, it helps PokéBeach Forums look more 'mature'in the sense that everyone who wants to speak properly can express his thoughts well.
You just made a spelling error there: i supposed to be capital.Aqua Enigma said:

WPM I think I found some of typos in the "PokeBeach.com Forum Rules - Everyone Must Read and Understand Before Posting" thread in your first post. Some of your sentences didn't start with capital letters and some of them ended with a question mark even though I think you intended them to have a period like:Water Pok�mon Master said:
