"1. My Mom says Bill Gates sits on his computer too long
2. My Mom, says Bill Gates, sits on his computer too long
See what I mean?"
So is this correct?

If thats how you usually call your mom than yes, but if you call your mom mother than no that is wrong.

It's a good tutorial, though i don't really need it that much.
But it's still great for others, who might have difficulties with the English grammar!
RE: Tutorial on correct grammar! [The Basics] - DaBaws - 03-20-2011
You should add the thing about "an" and "a".
When the first letter, in the next word after "an" or "a" has a vocalsound, it should be "an".
When it doesn't, it should be "a".
So like:
"Can I have an apple?"
"Looks, there's a turtle!"
"I've had an exboyfriend"

You're either not familiare with basic grammar, or just lazy.
I can't tell.

When you're using it as possessive it's lower case.
When you're using it to personally address someone it's capital.
This goes for mom/dad/uncle/aunt/cousin/etc.

You're kidding me, right? You have no right to bash on his capitalization when your spelling is that of a 3rd grader.
Even if you were just typing fast, he could've been doing the exact same thing.

Grammar can't always be perfect. Like someone already said, there is always room for improvement.
