It's a *lot* better these days. Here's how you could use it to improve the English in your comment:

Can you point out and characterise the grammar mistakes in the following sentence, with tips on how the writer could avoid similar mistakes in future - "I must admit its been a while, but all these things where horrible last time i played with them."

Sure — that sentence has a few grammar issues, each pointing to a common kind of slip. Here's the breakdown:

1. "its been a while" → "it's been a while"

Mistake: "its" is a possessive pronoun (like his, her, their), while "it's" is the contraction of "it has". Fix: Use "it's" because the writer means "it has been a while".

Tip: When in doubt, try expanding “it’s” to “it is” or “it has” and see if the sentence still makes sense. If it doesn’t, you probably want "its".

2. "where horrible" → "were horrible"

Mistake: "where" (a location) is confused with "were" (past tense of are). Fix: Use "were" to correctly form the past tense of "to be".

Tip: Say it aloud—“they were horrible” sounds natural, while “they where horrible” doesn’t. If it’s a verb (they were), you want "were".

3. "i played" → "I played"

Mistake: Lowercase "i". Fix: Always capitalize "I" when it's a pronoun referring to oneself.

Tip: This is more about habit than logic—just train yourself to always type "I" in uppercase, even in casual writing.

Full corrected version: "I must admit it's been a while, but all these things were horrible last time I played with them."
