    Find a chick who’s just been dumped and comfort her by massaging her shoulders, and soon, she’ll be massaging your prostate.

    Read books. Turn your spell checker off and manually check spelling using a dictionary.

    Beat the crap out of the pheasant plucker that taught you spelling using phonetics.

    Perhaps the cosmic oneness is just trying to point out that you should enlist as a grunt.

    Perhaps a quick look around the site, my posting included would encourage you to look elsewhere for spelling help

    How bad is it

    What were some of the questions, 21 out of 50?

    Did you do the IQ test on test the nation last night? Can you tell us what you got, so we know at what level to prescribe the cure?

    Oh, right, sorry. Thought you wanted to join the *Army*. Yes, you'd better pass that officer test, or you'll just spend all day swabbing decks, putting grease on things and giving erotic foot massages to weapons engineers.

    As well as your spelling, you should also bone up on your punctuation...

    A tip: The apostrophe has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with plurals!!

    Indeed. The apostrophe is used to warn unwary sibilant-averse readers of an upcoming 's'.

    Dave Barry publishes a marvellous (but rather academic in treatment) column under the pseudonym of "Mr Language Person" in several scholarly journals. Such as the Miami Herald. I recommend it to all.

    I presume that you mean "should not be used" or "incorrectly used" in this context??

    LOL! I am not a fan of the Meatloaf approach to grammar!

    Which reminds me of the wit who once remarked that New Zealanders had a "school certificate" approach to the Ten Commandments -- Attempt any five...
