In this day and age, we've become used to information being presented to us in an audio/visual manner. Even though we may be able to read effectively, the ability to write with quality eludes many of us. Throughout this website (indeed, perhaps this very page) there may be numerous grammatical and spelling errors that lessens the impact the writer intended for the reader.

This guide was made to help new and current players of the Starship Republic campaign with their writing skills, or anyone else who wants to brush up. However, instead of a complete lecture on the subject, this guide gives more of a “Schoolhouse Rock” tour of the proper use of writing elements in the English language.
