how to improve grammar and spelling

[Anonymous No.2040256]

I am terrible at both of the.
Mainly because I havent done any proper writing since I was 16(I am 22 now) only real writing I do is on the likes of 4chan,texting and facebook.

I am also from the north of england and where I am from we use a lot of slang whixh has fucked me up grammar wise.

ANy way I can read fine and I have been reading a lot more the last couple of years but is there anything else I can do to improve?

Write more. Look over what you type once or twice.

Read and post alot on 4chan. Seriously. I'm 20 and have been posting on 4chan since I was 16, and I think all the grammarfags correcting me has improved my writing far more than any writing I did in high school/college English classes.

Warriner's English Grammar and Composition. You can get it used for less than ten dollars on Amazon. You're treating yourself to some healthy review, as well as some additional exercises. It can scratch the writing urge, as well; I've done a few exercises in my downtime, and felt pretty refreshed afterwards.
