Hi Sari ! 11000110111 100110001 10001111110 !!!!!!! Spelling 100% correct! Prove me wrong!!
I do believe this is a grammar thread, not a spelling thread. As for the grammar in your post, you incorrectly put spaces after words, but before punctuation. Also, the sentence "Spelling 100% correct!" cannot possibly be grammatically correct, as it has no finite verb phrase.
And, of course, Æó~ is poor spelling anyways.

Always a good thing to do, I reckon... I usually read through the whole post in the "preview" mode, and I might change it a few times before I finally post...Furthermoore it makes me think twice before i either post a thread or reply to any thing

First you need to click on the "Start Menu", and then select "Microsoft Update".
I recommend you perform a spyware scan rather than waste your time closing popups.

Using the word of instead of have. I even have a link to reference for this one, because I looked it up. The error is called "Pronunciation Spelling". Link: http://dictionary.re...e.com/browse/of
Examples:
I would of liked to go to the circus. (wrong)
I would have liked to go to the circus. (right)
I would've liked to go to the circus. (right - a contraction of would and have)

That is a good example, as was the then and than - people get those confused all the time.
Another one is plurals and apostrophes.
I have twenty cat's - WRONG! The apostrophe indicates a possessive noun, not a plural noun.
I have twenty cats - RIGHT!
My cat's tail is short - RIGHT! This is a possessive noun, referring to the tail of the cat.

–noun Grammar.
a word that can substitute for a verb or verb phrase. They never attend board meetings, but we do regularly.
Do is the proverb - it substitutes for attend.
