Grammar:
You should capitalize proper nouns, like I or Inspi.
You should also capitalize the first word in a sentence, as in "It was so annoying."
However, don't capitalize whole words, as in "grounded."
Make sure you use full sentences, such as "Thanks a lot to whoever did that."
Spelling:
You should spell out words completely, for instance, use "though" instead of "tho."
You can use a spell checking tool or avoid using words you have difficulty spelling correctly. Google chrome has a tool built into the internet browser if you find this particularly difficult.
Word Choice:
Make sure you choose words carefully to ensure they accurately convey the meaning of your post. "What if Inspi put in a plugin that allowed you to cmodify 1-10 people to put something in it," is an ambiguous statement, and leaves readers wondering what you mean. For instance, this could be interpreted as "What if Inspi put in a plugin that allowed you to use lwc to limit the number of people who could place things in a donation chest, so that the chest would no longer accept donations after a set number of people had donated?" It could also be interpreted as "What if Inspi put in a plugin that allowed you to use lwc to specify who could place things in a donation chest you had set up?"
In addition, avoid repeating words excessively, as it makes your post seem redundant, which causes your readers to lose interest. "Just saying though, I love this idea though." could be better phrased as "Just a suggestion though, I love this idea."
