Just as a quick reminder, here is a quote from our site rules:
We ask that when you make a post to please spell check it, and use correct grammar and punctuation. Sometimes when you post using incorrect grammar, or misspell words it is hard to understand your post and it makes the site look bad. Please follow this rule at all times.
I try to avoid editing posts for grammatical errors, and I know people don't like it when their posts are edited, so please try to follow this rule.
If you have any questions about this rule, please send me or another staff member a PM.
Thanks

We tried to add a spell check but it just didnt work work. But we're always keeping a look out for really terrible spelling and grammer.

One thing that you can do is copy your posts into a Microsoft Word document and use their spell check, then copy that post to out site. Otherwise you can just breifly read over it yourself. We aren't asking for perfect grammer, we just don't want our site to look like it came from a text message. An error every here and there is perfectly acceptable.

Please note that our new spelling rule is in effect as of September 1, 2010.
Amusement Park Authority will not tolerate excessive improper spelling and grammar. A typo here and there is acceptable, but illegible posts are not. If you have trouble spelling we encourage you to switch to Mozilla Firefox because it has a built in spell checker , or install the Google's Toolbar for its spell checker. Depending on the severity of the violation, we will either edit or remove your post. If we have to edit too many of your posts, you may receive an infraction or a warning, and remember that to many infractions could get your account suspended. Text Message shorthand or "l77t" speak is allowed but do not overuse it. Remember that you have time to properly compose and edit messages on the forums prior to posting them.

Yes, that is perfectly acceptable. We're not going to be strict about this unless posts' spelling is horrible. The goal is just to prevent posts that look like they were copied out of a text message.
