Your grammar is not too bad. Your spelling could use a little help, however. Some suggestions I have for that are fairly simple:

1) If you are unsure of the spelling of a word, look it up. You can use Wiktionary or Reference.com, for example.
2) Use a web browser with integrated spell-checking, like FireFox 2.0 (which can tell you when words are misspelled, but you will have to look up the proper spelling on your own.)
3) Read a dictionary from cover to cover, taking note of the spelling of words as you go.

OK, so the latter was more of a joke. If it were to be taken seriously, though, it would help as well.

I always have Microsoft Works Word Processor open to check my spelling.
I'm a horrible speller too, thanks to this, "Processor " was not spelled incorrectly for this post! :)

I have a Mac, and OS X has this really nice dictionary/thesaurus widget that I have configured to bring up by moving the mouse cursor to the lower right corner of the screen. (It creates a darkened overlay covering the desktop which contains all of the widgets.) Just another reason to switch to OS X!

Also, spacing between sentences (You need a bit of work on that.) and always capitalizing "i"s and the beginning of sentences (You do well on that) makes posts look 100X better

Start reading the classics. Older language tends to use more grammatically correct syntax. Something like Shakespeare forward....Chauser is way too old and the language will just be confusing. Reading well written texts is a great way to learn grammar. Also you may want to investigate taking a foreign language (A Latin based one) Or shit take Latin if you can. It was one of the best things I ever did. Often in those classes they cover grammar structure that will in fact make you understand your own better.

Things like diagramming a sentence will help you understand sentence structure as well...try here... http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/ for some other ideas and sentence diagramming help.

Edumicate youself!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 'Cause no one else will...or they won't do it right.

You did, however, use a double negative. :)
