Don't let those spelling mistakes & poor grammar turn your post into a shitpost.

[JeromeTash]

Some of the users here make good articles but one of the biggest let downs is the spelling mistakes and grammar which end up ruining an excellent article.
They can't be blamed because just like me, English is not their native language.

However, I did try to reduce on the challenge of grammar and spelling mistakes using an addon know as Grammarly. This addon is available on Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Other Firefox and chromium based browser like Brave, Tor e.t.c should be able to install this addon without any challenge.
Even while using a free version of this addon, one can be able to make a very big difference in the posts one makes.

How to Install Grammarly.

• You can get it on your browser by visiting the official link: https://grammarly.com on a supported browser. You will be able to view a button to download it as shown below

Note: Avoid downloading directly from google searches or browser extension stores without carefully looking at the site to determine if it's the genuine link. This can save you from downloading fake web browser extensions that could compromise your security

• After downloading the extension, a green round button with a rounded arrow inside it should be visible in the extension bar, Click on it and sign up for a free account
  when you sign up, you will be able to;
  - Save your work and access it from any other computer
  - Save your personal dictionary
  - Choose the preferred sites you would love Grammarly to access
  

How to use Grammarly

• Once you have signed up and set it up, you can now start your post writing or commenting using the browser. As you write, green underlines will appear below each word that has a spelling error or a number of words that have grammatical issues and a green circle or sometimes just a dot will appear at the bottom right side of the text box showing the number of errors you have made so far.
  
  You can either correct each mistake by hovering your mouse over the underlined area, Grammary will pop up a word or punctuation suggestion which you can click on and it gets instantly corrected
  

or you can just click on the green circle or dot to make all the corrections. An expanded window will appear. Click on the " ^ " symbol to see a detailed suggestion and click on the " x " symbol to ignore.




That is it,  with this you should be able to improve your article/post quality. It may not be 100% but it will be much better. Maybe 80% to 90% better quality than your initial article/post quality.
There is also a premium version but I think the free version should be enough unless one really wants to go further and pay for the premium.

Well It isn't a must to write (speak english) like the queen of England but as far your readers can understand what you're saying then you're good.  Jet cash saw this problem then provided a solution through the Fit-to-talk project but those users english isn't their native language aren't taking the project seriously so it's all on them if their quality post turns into garbage because of their bad English. Many of them will still ignore this post just as they do to others.

Good effort OP.  Just hopping they take your advice this time because most of them never do.

I didn't say one has to write like the Queen. Am just pointing out how one can improve on their posts without much hustle. It's an alternatively and it's not rallying any other person's project here.
Hope you understand.

Thanks, Fixed.

There are a lot of crypto related words that come up as spelling errors on my browser.  Even crypto has an incorrect spelling marker underneath it.

Good effort OP.  Just hopping they take your advice because most of them never do.

And why is that? Because most of them are in the forum just for bounties and don't even care about the rest. There are some bounty hunters with real knowledge on the blockchain and what they are talking about but most of them sadly aren't. I see this on the telegram channels as well. There are some people asking for information on stakes calculation or bounty distribution with a Google Translate English level. Some of them even give out the details on their position on the Google spreadsheet and with a little research you can find out they do blog writing campaign in English, so I wonder: how go they write a 500 words article in perfect English?
You understand where I'm going with this

I'm sorry I got a little off topic

I don't like Grammarly - even the name jars with me. Also, it's primarily American, and that is a colloquial subset of English.

Bitcointalk also comes up as a spelling error... those are the kind of words alongside so many crypto related jargons that you just ignore or add to your dictionary

Well, everyone certainly has there own preferences and dislikes, but if you like writing in British English, there is an Option for that too

[Kopyleft]

Grammarly is useful in correcting your use of grammar, and helps perfect that which you already have an idea of. To really expand your English vocabulary you would need to take learning classes, or regularly converse in English language.
Jet cash has a fit to talk program which is set up foe those who can not use the language efficiently.

Grmmarly also do not ensure proper grammar. It is only useful for spelling correction. When it comes about gammar, grammarly provides poor grammar. I sometimes used it but now I do not use it anymore.

Great work JeromeTash,

Many newbies here don't know some basic way to make there post more grammar error-free, it's not every time the problems about the English vocabulary but sometimes there are many typing mistakes or simple grammar which makes an informative post look shady looking and hard to read. Your guide could help many of them to improve the posts with the help of online tool Grammarly and I think it is a very positive approach. Keep it up

[Velkro]

Agree, its good enough. Problem starting when most often new users starting topic with half english half different language and you must guess what he wanted to say/ask etc.
This is really problematic but some people really can't yet communicate in english. Correcting grammar won't help there and this is biggest problem by me.

Hoewever (<-- D:), maybe it will aid some in stepping up their english skills?

The majority of low/null value posts are so really due to their content, and no so much because of their grammar, with which one can be more belligerent providing the content is decent enough.

Of course it’s when both of these features collude on a post, and that is rather common, that it gets a shower of adverse qualifying adjectives which overspill onto the author, and get stuck to him/her/it for the times to come.

[Harlot]

I doubt that even a post without any grammatical errors but has low in substance will still be counted as a meritable post. If you look at people who are not receiving merits their posts mostly contains off topic ideas which means even if they are grammatically correct they still won't receive anything. In order for you to even receive any merits in the first place you must always be on point is what you are saying as well as it needs to be relatable in the topic, remember substance is what being looked here not the spelling.

Indeed, We also have coolcryptovator (I think, if I'm not mistaken- correct me if I'm wrong) which is not really good at grammar for the reason English isn't his mother language just like me. But the way he can provide a good content is a big points though. It's just an individual's perception on the  topic. Even if sometimes we failed to look into our spellings this isn't a way to judge that it is already a shitpost.

Still, you have a good suggestion there, I will also try that out.

[JeromeTash]

Another issue the community is facing is the misinterpretation of sentences. I didn't say you say that. I was just letting them know your english must not be like that of the queen before you can write a topic, as far we can understand it you're good.

Perhaps, you are the one misunderstanding the whole point of this post, check yourself before you just conclude randomly.
The purpose of this post is to give an easy and hustle-free alternative to those whose posts and articles are sometimes ruined by a sea of spelling mistakes and to some extent grammar and not;
- Bashing anyone for not knowing enough of the English language
- Discouraging those whose native language is not English from posting in English.
So your reply is completely off the rail here.

I doubt that even a post without any grammatical errors but has low in substance will still be counted as a meritable post.

Haven't you seen shitposts or posts with no content receiving merit yet?  
Topics like How to write a meritable post have been discussed here countless times that why I didn't mention anything about merit. I was just talking about an assistant that can help one clear up some of those spelling and grammar mistakes which one may not be aware of

Google Chrome comes with its own spell checker. You can turn it on or off. Works probably the same way as Grammarly. If you spell something wrong it will underline that word in red. If your right click on the word, google will suggest the correct word/words.

To enable it click on the three dots in the top right corner >  Settings > Click on Advanced at the bottom of the page >  Scroll down to Languages, select the language you want Google to spellcheck.
If you click on Spell check you will be happy to see English (United Kingdom) on the list 

And now every time you spell something wrong you get this:

Again you're misunderstanding my replies. I give you credits for trying to help (check the very first reply on thread) all I'm saying is,  you aren't the first user who has seen this problem and tried to solve it. In fact like I said earlier, jet cash dedicated his time to solving this same issue, he even created a forum just for them but no they didn't show interest. The issue isn't writing topic on how to resolve their bad english problem but are they willing to learn? because anyone willing to improve their english has the whole web to assist them.

This topic is relevant for Russian locale because some people write in English. I translated the topic into Russian. Thanks to the author for the work.

Well, it should be check all the spellings and grammars before posting right? I guess the OP did not inlcude that some spellings (typos) are understandable even though it's not the correct spelling. Does a small typos can turn your post into a shitpost? My opinion is not all of typos can turn your post into a shitpost.
