You don't press the space-bar four times before a sentence either.
Yes you do. It's called and indent, and used in paragraphs.

Halt! Before you question our purpose, I must make it clear that you always, and I mean always, start a sentence with a capital letter.
So am I a Grammar Police official now?

Halt! I do not notice anything in the Grammar Police rulebook that tolerates the spelling of "a term" as "aterm".

Halt! You do not say "It's called and indent". You have to say "an", not "and".

I guess one either passes away as a Grammatical Policeman, or lives long enough to commit a typo.

The Grammar Police, you should join the Chima RP, it has quite a few grammatical errors (we also really need new users)
What about that comma splice and lack of period?

We need the grammar police! The LMBs can't do without won!

I found more comma splice.

Let's look at the sentence I corrected:
"Our force of grammar officers uses the latest in grammar-correcting technology…"
The original version was "Our force of grammar officers use the latest in grammar-correcting technology…"
This is a matter of subject-verb agreement. If the subject was "grammar officers," then yes, it would be correct. However, the collective noun "force" is the subject, with "of grammar officers" being a prepositional phrase describing "force." Since "force" is the subject, the verb should be in singular form,
i.e. , "uses."
It's confirmed; I'm a rookie.
(Was it right to use a semi-colon?)
Yes! Finally! Thank you for battling against the crime that is comma splice.

That would be a dependent clause, which is not capable of supporting a sentence on its own.
