[MistaCrowley]

This is absolutely perfect. We REALLY needed a guy on who to use basic grammar that should've been taught in elementary school (grades 1-3). Its really sad that grown adults/teenagers aren't capable of placing, a, comma, where, need, pls, yes?

I am pretty sure you are not supposed to use a comma before and in any case because and is the connecting 'symbol'. Correct me if I'm wrong.

A comma should also be placed before and if and is at the beginning of an independent clause.

The purpose of a comma is to clarify list, and it also conjoins ideas.
The dog is young, and it’s also well-trained.
It’s cold outside, and I can’t find my coat.

As a matter of fact, it can be used if and is at the beginning of an independent clause. That's too complicated for most SARPians though.

The same rules apply to my language (Estonian).

You could add a part regarding the ellipsis:

---

An ellipsis is a set of three periods ( ... ) indicating an omission. Each period should have a single space on either side.
Example; If only she had ... Oh, it doesn’t matter now.

If words are left off at the end of a sentence, indicate the omission with ellipsis marks (preceded and followed by a space) and then indicate the end of the sentence with a period … .
Example; I'm wondering … .

You may also use the em-dash ( --- ) to indicate omission, but you must also end the sentence with a period.
Example; I'm wondering --- .

Do not use "..-" or "-.." as they are not grammatically correct.

than, then, you're, your, ur, u're etc.

Ur and u're isn't English man.

[Henry Anderson]

Many teachers say that we have to put comma before and

Eg : Bitches, assholes, and twats.

They are both correct. But I prefer not putting it.

English is a difficult language to learn. It can however, be understood through tough thorough thought though. Just saying.

Here's a thing I don't get. Do English teachers in non-English speaking countries teach their students this method of asking a question? I can guarantee you've all seen:

"How to (move, get money, get a cellphone)"

Anyone who can't speak English well says that.

It's "How do I (move, get money, get a cellphone)" for anyone that doesn't know.

This was definitely needed. There some americans, brits and others who speak English as their first language, but still struggle to communicate efficiently in game and over the forums.
