@mecha English = Grammar Grammar = Spelling Now you are looking foolish. If you think I'm wrong lets get some more proof here. No, spelling is the spelling of each individual words while grammar is the proper usage of words in a sentence.
Example. Bad spelling: The lzay fox jmped ver the hilll.
Bad Grammar: I ran through the hoardes of people looking for my mom. Are the hoardes of people looking for the mom? Or the speaker looking for the mom?
Now you are looking foolish. Get out |

| One of the things that really bugs me about the "grammar police" type is their inability to distinguish grammar from spelling. Native English speakers absolutely know the difference. I am 100% sure that the mental grammar of an English speaker, the only grammar that really matters, distinguishes the lexical items your and you’re, even if the speaker doesn't always know how to spell them. |

Grammar pertains to sentence structure, spelling obviously pertains to words being spelt correctly

Grammar includes spelling, punctuation, and capitalization. Spelling is part of grammar, so this is incorrect.
I used to be a forumer like you, then I took a post in the thread. |

@Jro Thank you! In other words Spelling is meant for words only, individual words. Grammar is about a whole sentence, if that makes sense. |

Spelling and grammar are sort of the same thing. It's like comparing a truck and a vehicle. We are all both right and wrong on this :p

I thought grammar was for general speaking and spelling for writing/typing.
