My advice to you would be to pay attention to grammar and spelling with everything that you write. You're not graded on what you write here on HNI, but you can't write as sloppy as you do on a daily basis and then expect to write on a professional level while writing a paper. It's like going to the range and practicing with your rifle, you can't expect to hit a deer at 400 yards without practice, and you can't expect to write an A+ paper without practice. You have to make it second nature, try writing your posts in microsoft word, then paste them here. The spelling and grammar check feature will do a fairly good job of teaching you proper grammar.
