I am not an English teacher, but yvairguy asked me for help on an unrelated thread that he is trying desperately to hijack. So to try and prevent it, I instead trying to put it here and help not only him but others. I am sick of the lack of writing skill!
The cellular telephone has ruined language and writing, plus make folks lazy writers.
What I mean by proper English:
Use proper punctuation and use of. A sentence ends with a period (.), question mark (?), or and exclamation (!). It does not in with quotes, especially when used around a non-sentence.
A sentence begins with capitalization, unless in some cases a list is somewhat acceptable.
Be aware of coma splices! Several ideas can't be forced into one sentence unless great care is taken. Please see this:

Also, use paragraphs to make the independent ideas separate. A paragraph is basically an idea backed up. The next idea and backup gets separated. This makes it much easier to read an comprehend.
I am by no means an expert, but figure this may help. :D
