Although I agree with your basic statement that no one wants to make mistakes in their posts, I also think the monks are very understanding where grammatical errors are concerned.

People who speak English as a second or foreign language would have less trouble with their spelling and grammar if they do what I do for all my major posts. Actually, even native speakers can benefit from it. It occurred to me some time ago that the little text window in a browser is a horrible way to edit something that is longer than a few lines, so I don't. I use my favorite editor or word processor to edit my ``major'' nodes and then copy and paste. If I am having a bad day, it will catch my spelling mistakes. Some people even have ``grammar checking'' in their word processors.

Another advantage to this method is that it reduces the server load from constant previewing (and maybe editing in the future). It would also allow the poster's struggle to focus (almost) completely on Perl ;)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
