Quoted for truth. The best way to improve your spelling is to read a lot, methinks. During vocabulary tests, you would also be graded for the spelling. This was a good thing for me. I knew I would never completely bomb the test because I could fall back on my near-perfect spelling skills.

The same goes for grammar and mechanics. Since reading has been big with me all my life, I can easily do well with writing. Where the comma goes, etcetera. But, when someone asks me why I do it, I cannot answer aside from "because it supposed to look that way." I can't pinpoint the rule that goes with it. ^_^'
