Okay, here are a few typing-laziness errors I see all the time, and why you shouldn't use them (also with examples!):
-No capitalization. "it doesn't give your sentence as much impact. the shift key is right in front of you guys."
-It's=its. "Its" is possessive, as in, "Its Goomba picture looked real". "It's" means it is, as in "OMG! It's so scary!"
-Space bar skiving. Some people don't put a space between their (not they're!) words. "This makes italmost impossibleto read some longparagraphs."
-Spelling. It's easy to do. That's why the spell-check is there. Try reading posts before you post them.
-The blocks tag. When you use Scratch blocks, put a [blocks/] before the blocks and a [//blocks] after them (Take out one slash in each tag, though. If I had done that in this post, they would have disappeared.). The main advantage? The following text will not be bold.
Anyway... if you abide by these rules (and use punctuation!), then people will actually understand you. Thank you.

Code:
[/blocks] not [blocks/]
When I did it right, the tag vanished. Hopefully people will read the built-in instruction for the tag.

the text thingymabobber that is below the things that say BBCode blah blah this is too long wrote:
Adding Scratch Blocks:
To add Scratch Blocks to your post, type "[blocks]" before you start and "[/blocks]" at the end of the blocks.
Click a category below, then click the block you want to add. Then fill in the blank spaces in the text box above.

You have to remove a slash from each tag in my post, it doesn't matter which one, but if you do it right it will disappear like it did in this post.
