It took a surprising amount of willpower to NOT name this thread, "ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT?".

I've been writing on here alot compared to other places I comment/post on. The language, punctuation and grammar usually goes no higher than the 3rd grade on those sites. Here, I actually need to re-read and edit my posts. Here in lies the problem, I have horrible grammar . I have spell check for my 2nd grade spelling and after a while I think the computer begins to understand my dyslexic spelling. What I need help with is the rules of grammar and the English language.

I did have a friend that would edit all of my letters, important emails and during college my papers (like the last sentience, should there be a comma between "emails" and "and"??). She was great at it and was a key person that helped me graduate college. Then my penis got involved and now she doesn't talk to me. So, I need to learn how to do this myself.

I thought about taking a class at the community college, but the material I need to cover is not taught except as E.S.L. Creative writing would help, but would not get to the root of the problem. So, just like the tagline of this forum states, I have TFP to help me.

I need websites, names of books, online lessons, anything that could help me with learning the rules of punctuation and grammar. Like that last sentence, commas confuse the SHIT out of me. Don't even get me started on run-ins and semi-colons. I feel like the grammar nazis are just cringing whenever I start typing a post. This will help me IRL with cover letters and emails for jobs, as I need a new one badly.

I figure I can memorize the rules for writing and have a nice reference for when I'm trying to get an interview with someone. I don't need to be prefect, just better than what I am now.
