This is where we can help him become a better person, linguistically.
When you see Shannon make a mistake, post it here so he knows how to improve.

1. Only capitalise proper nouns and words at the beginning of sentences.
2. The principal is your PAL.

I havn't actually seen him do the principal one yet but its one of my favourites.

This isn't about me. :p

Thank you though, now I am a better person, linguistically.

PEOPLE! Don't be paranoid about making your own mistakes here. It is about helping Shannon.

Not directed at anyone in particular, but people need to learn to say 'have' instead of 'of.' Oh, and learn the difference between there, their and they're,

It shits me when use "then" instead of "than". Or the other way around.

I'm never sure of the difference.
Although I'd say 'than' would be the more neglected of the two in my world.

'Than' is when you're comparing something.

My hat is nicer than yours.

'Then' is when you're telling a story (for example - there's many uses).

I rode my bike, then I went for a swim.

Now everytime I use the wrong one, I'll be able to feel like a real dickhead two seconds after when I realise!

Some people tend to say "Caity's dress was prettier then Nicole's". WRONG!

When he sent me a CD - the description on the customs declaration was funny/cute. :p

There wasn't a mistake, it was just the way you worded it! :p
