Yes. Insta felonies are for felonies only. Not body guard training. It's a nice safe guard from abuse I'd say

Hey, everyone, I was checking out: https://mafiareturns.com/help/tutorial.php

I just noticed a few grammatical errors and thought maybe you guys would like to adjust it. I'll write the grammatical error next to the quote. 
 

In this guide, you will find everything from examples of role play to how to make your posting decorative. (Needs a comma.)

Use MR Toolbar – Toggles the built-in timer bar on and off. Below are the options for the toolbar. (Toolbar, is one word)

Petty Pop-Up (Pop-up missing a hyphen.) 
Toggles the pop-up reminder on and off. (Pop-up missing a hyphen.) 

Travel Pop Up (Pop-up missing a hyphen.) 
Toggles the pop up reminder on and off.(Pop-up missing a hyphen.) 

Attack Pop Up (Pop-up missing a hyphen.) 
Toggles the pop up reminder on and off. (Pop-up missing a hyphen.) 

Jail Pop Up (Pop-up missing a hyphen.) 
Toggles the pop up reminder on and off. (Pop-up missing a hyphen.) 

Yes, there are plenty of timers to help you out with remembering when you can petty, felony, travel, attack, and break people out of jail. (Commit a felony, just sounds better.)

There are several options for your to choose from. (Your needs to be replaced with you.)

There are quite a few ways to make yourself some money. One rather important way to make yourself money is drug running(buying drugs low, and selling them at a higher price.) (No comma needed for "buying drugs low".)

Doing petty crimes and felony's will also make you money, as well as help you get your gun(you need 75 successful petty crimes to attain your gun. (Instead of "felony's, it's felonies.)

You could also try your hand at selling crackdowns, or making profile pictures for people. (You can either use "be making" or make for here.)

Anything that is racist, sexually discriminating, or otherwise offencive is grounds for an administrator assisted death... (Replace "offencive" with offensive.)

IP SHARINGthen you will be admin wacked and labelled as a "Doppelganger." (Space needed between SHARING and then, also labelled only has one l *labeled.)

Personal messages or “events” can by viewed by clicking the “DL” (Replace the word "by" with "be".)

This is where news of attacks, gifts, invites to families, invites to multi player crimes, rewards for voting... (Multiplayer is only one word.)

When an important event happens the “DL” logo will flash. How do I see who is in the same city as as me? (Repetition of "as".)

Directory will show you a list of the Administrators, and details on their respective jobs. (It sound better if you said "The directory...)

You can either add the name through here, or click on their profiles and hit... (Comma for here, isn't needed.)

This can be found in the Managemeny Menu. (Basic error, pretty sure this was just a typo.)

pay out more, and take much longer to commit again. 12 minutes are required between each felony crime. (Required between isn't the proper phrasing, it would be "required for each"...)

Available at Made Man, the bank option is a mid tier felony that pays significantly more than prostitution rings; (Hyphen needed for "mid-tier".)

Multi User Crimes. (Hyphen for "Multi-User".)
The most difficult and highest paying of crimes, Multi User Crimes involve two or more members belonging to a Mastermind, who starts the crime. (Hyphen for "Multi-User".)

You must be a Made Man or higher to start a Multi User Crime, and are limited to the crimes available to you depending on your rank. (Hyphen for "Multi-User" and no comma needed after crime.)

You do not need to be a Made Man to join a MUC started by another... (It would be, "an MUC".)

You must have a felony timer open to commit a FUC... (Same deal here, would be "an FUC".)

The highest chance of heading to jail on a multi user crime, it is not for the faint hearted. (A hyphen is needed for both "mutli-user" and "faint-hearted".)

Family User Crimes in essence are the same as PUCs... (It should be Family User Crimes, in essence, are the same as PUCs...)

Family User Crimes pay significantly more than their public counterpart, and are slightly less difficult from a logistic point of view. (No comma is needed for counterpart. It would also be "counterparts".)

ou will need a felony crime available to initiate/join a FUC, and your timer is reset to 15 minutes upon successful completion. (An FUC.)

Failure in any multi user crime will result in the jailing of at least one member of the crime, but usually all of the members involved. (Hyphen for "Multi-User".)

The sentence for failing a multi user crime is 15 minutes, and your petty/felony timer will be raised to an additional 20 minutes before your next available crime. (Hyphen for "Multi-User".)

Crimes in general are the basis of your ranking potential as well as other stats... (It should look something like this "Crimes, in general, are the basis of your ranking potential as well as other stats...)

Crimes, along with posting threads and jail breaking, are the most common way of gaining rank. (Jailbreaking, is one word.)

To make your writing squared and type writer style... (Typewriter, is one word.)

If your stuck on were to post something check out A Reminder About Posting Guidelines this thread. (The word your should be "you" and instead of "were" it would be where. Also it would "something check out;".)

The Outside forum is for out of character and non game related discussions. (Hyphen needed between "non" and "game".)

If your post or thread was deleted and you don't no why here are some of the reasons... (It would be "know" instead of "no".)

Normally if you posted a link from your Back Alley and someone posted in the thread, the thread that the person posted in, would go to the top. (Instead of "in", it should be "it".)

Wack Thread: To wack a thread is to delete a thread in your Back Alley or HQ. (Comma needed for "wack".)

Wack Reply: Is to delete a reply that someone did in a thread in you Back Alley or HQ. (It would be "your" instead of "you".)

This is your own forum and for other people to see a thread in it you will have to send them a link into it. (Instead of "into" it would just be "to it".)

Role Play is the act of playing a part, and in this game refers to your character assuming the role of an 1930's up and coming... (Instead of "an 1930's" it would be "a 1930's".)

For more on Role Playing you should read The RPE Rules of Roleplay Engagement this thread. (Comma needed for "Role Playing,".)

This is probably the hardest thing you'll learn to do in this game and that why I saved it to last. (Instead of "it to last", it should be "it for last".)

Once you've done all that copy and paste this to were you want to put it. (Instead of "were" it should be "where".)

When you have done that every thing should be OK. (Everything is one word.)

To make a title appear do the same only when it (Should be "appear to" instead of "appear do".)

So thats all you really need to know about Forums and Mail. (Should be "that's" instead of "that".)

Remember when making your text Bold do not start with a capital S in . (Should be "Bold does not...", also this is really petty but there's a gap after the word "in".)

In order to sort it by the senders name in alphabetical order. For an example if Jim send you a message and Zack sends you a message it will pit it in this order. (Should be "sender's", example needs a comma after it and it should be "will put it in...".)

For instance if the subjects are Hi and No Subject it will be put in this order. (Needs a comma after instance.)

Prowess compares yourself to the other members of the same rank as you. (Instead of "yourself", it should be "you."

Achievements are things worth noting that you've accomplished in game. (Requires a hypthen between "in" and "game".)

They all require a certain amount of time in our world to achieve however. (A comma is needed for "achieve".)

Remember though, you can not obtain every rank easily... (Gramitcally speaking it should be cannot.)

You will automatically be promoted up to Wise Guy, assuming you have the know how and experience to get there. The know how is what you're here talking to me for though, right? (Hyphen required between "know-how".)

No body likes a guy or gal who ranks without putting in any effort. (Nobody is one word.)

This is were getting to know people comes in. This is were showing your leader you are respectful, loyal and hard working comes in. (Instead of "were" it should be "where" and hardworking is one word.)

You can't just role up to the nearest crew leader and ask them to invite you! (Should be "roll" instead of "role".)

ou gotta search out the leader, their right hand man (RHM) or even their left hand man (LHM). (Hyphen needed for left hand-man and right-hand man.) 

Any two bit criminal you see running around the streets will know who the leaders are. (Hyphen needed for "two-bit".)

See, finding a family to join is of the up most importance in this thing of ours. (Think you meant "utmost".)

You'll notice, when you start out, when you come fresh of that boat into our world you will have 48 hours protection. (Two F's are needed for "of".)

It is within this time that you must find a family. (Not the right preposition, should be "It is at...".)

 It will ensure you safe passage in the streets without the constant worry of someone shooting you in the back of the head. (Should be "your" instead of "you".)

When you've got that all important invite... (All-important needs a hyphen.)

That leader that has just taken you in and offered you a home and protection will see it is down right disrespectful and probably have you shot. If the circumstance arises however, it is possible. (Downright is one word, and a comma is needed after arises.)

At a price however. You see that management option up there? (Comma needed after price.)

Jeez you're enthusiastic. (Need a comma, after "Jeez.")

Hard work is still required however. (Needs a comma after "Hard work".)

Made and a member of the family, crew leader permitting of course... (Needs a comma after "permitting".)

If is the honour of running a family and showing the world what you can do. (Replace "If", with "It".)

So, all being well and you have auth, you're leader will drop you from his/her family and you are ready to buy your HQ. (Should be "your", instead of "you're".)

Don't wanna be seeing you in a wooden box or at the bottom of the lake any time soon. (Anytime is one word.)

Be warned though, while suffering from your jet lag, you can not fly again. (Cannot would work better here.)

As you will notice, if you are in an East Coast city... (No comma, neeeded.)

It will cost you considerably more money and your jet lag will be longer, about three hours. (No comma, needed.)

We don't want no economy seats in the back of the plane. (This one is subjective, it can stay like this or be replaced with "we dont want any...")

ou can always make use of those Private Flights the airports so graciously make available to us mobsters. At a huge price though. They've gotta make money some how. (Instead of "make" it should be "made", and somehow is one word.)

If you have the money and the need, definitely worth it my friend. (Duplicate pronouns here, just needs a comma after it.")

Obviously, the bottom few drugs in the list are the ones you are most likely to make a bigger profit on. ("Few drugs on the list...")

he more work you do, as in petties, felonies, jailbreaks etc for more the FBN agent will allow you to get away with. (Jailbreak is one word.)

You are however, maxed to 65 units. This though, will take a lot of work. So get used to carrying a small amount of units until you start ranking and doing more work. Ok? (A comma is needed after "are", and no comma needed after though, also "a few units" sounds more articulate rather than "a small amount of".)

The dealers have got to stay competitive some how. (Somehow is one word.)

In order to keep yourself out of jail you need to bribe the FBN officer on the payroll. (Comma needed after jail.)

You will lose all vestiges of who you formerly were and become an elite jail breaking machine instead. (Jailbreaking is one word.)

At first you may begin to question if you will ever be successful. (Comma needed after "first".)

Practise helping them find their way to freedom until you can do so without fail. (Wrong useage of the word "practise" should be "practice".)

Before you know it you will reach the zenith of jail breakers world wide. (Jailbreaking and worldwide are both one word.)

Can you count on your catlike reflexes to retrieve a high profile ward of the prison system and escort them to the outside?  (Hyphen needed for "high-profile".)

Practise makes perfect. (Should be Practice.)

Like i said, the bigger the perceived threat to society... (Capital I.)

Of course that's unsubstantiated. (Comma needed after "course".)

What's a up-n-coming young jail breaking superstar to do? (Jailbreaking, one word.)

A few well placed bribes... (Hyphen needed for "well-placed".)

The jail fills up and you can bet your ass that other jail breakers will be there to lend a hand. You won't stay in long if you're caught. (Jailbreakers. And should be "longer".)

Now while you've the gist of things, I've a little information that might come in useful. The gent pushes a chair out and motions for you to sit. (Should be "you have", and "I have".)

As you know, we have a variety of abilities at our disposal, but there are times when travelling we require a little more information rather than flying blind... (Traveling has only one "L".)

Once there you can now chose who you want info from. (Should be "choose".)

 If this is what your after, then you know which city to fly in to train your jail breaking skill. (Jailbreaking and into are one words.)

If this is what your after, then you know which city to fly into train your jailbreaking skill. (You're instead of your.)

Heroin, Cocaine and Barbs are the big money makers... (Comma after Cocaine.)

It won't always benefit you though, a lot of the times your get information for drugs you don't have so check other avenues. (Instead of so, it should be "to", and instead of your it should be "you".)

So from this info you know where to go for your next IA kill. (Comma after info.)

leans back a little and smiles (Capital L, needed.)

Also depending on what information your after will also depend on the cost. The corrections officer is the cheapest to bribe, the the FBN agent and finally the detective. (Should be you're instead of "your". Also repeating "the" twice.)

She wont tell you names - her clients names are confidential, but locations, pssssht, she cares not. (Should be "won't" and "client's".)

First let me give you a run down of a few things. (Comma after "First" and rundown is one word.)

There is no limit to the amount of Bodyguards you can own... (There is no limit to a number of Bodyguards you can own. This just flows more smoothly.)

Please note however, the more bodyguards you own... (Comma after note.)

OK,now that we've got that cleared up... (Petty one, but need a space between "OK" and "now".)

It the end of 5 days it will cost you $60,000... (Comma after days.)

Vitality they will no longer lose anymore points of life. (Any more is two words.)

"Yes,sir." (Petty again. Just a space needed.)

Good. Lets continue. (Comma neeeded for "Let's".)

The shooter will either miss,wound,or kill your bodyguard. (Spaces needed.)

If he is killed well then he is killed and all that money you put into him is flushed down the toilet so its best to keep them trained to 100% whenever possible. (Should be "it's".)

"Someone" instead of the attackers name. (Should be attacker's instead.)

OK,on a opposite note I will fill you in a bit on what happens when you want to attack someone's bodyguard. (A space is needed between "OK" and "on". Also it should be "an opposite".)

It works a lot like regular wacking except its on someone's bodyguard... (Should be "it's".)

You will not be able to pickpocket,wack someone,or do a training range until your one hour is up. (Spaces needed.)

War" then "BG Wack" in the drop down menu and typing in the person's bodyguard that you wish to attack. (Drop-down requires a hyphen.)

I think that pretty much covers everything I can tell you about bodyguards,what they do... (Space needed.)

You done enough to retire? (Have you done enough to retire?".)

Earned the right to leave this life with dignity in tact. (Intact is one word.)

You miss the life to much... (Too instead of "to".)

Other wise I won't be seen talking to you. (Otherwise, is one word, also needs a comma.)

There are a few things you have to be sure of before you shoot however... (Shoot requires a comma afterwards.)

If they're not awake however, you can hit list them. (Comma after awake.)

There is a base price 10k to post a hit on the hit list Along with an extra 1k per rank of the person you want listed. (Should be "Of the people that you want listed.)

Enter the persons name and your reason and send it to the uppers. (Person's, instead of persons.)

This will mean that you can shoot at who ever you want without first requesting it from your uppers. (Whoever is one word.)

On the 7th day they automatically turn gangster. (Comma after day.)

It's a country wide accepted rule that you can kill them without repercussion. (Countrywide, is one word.)

That are not only within your family but country wide too. ("That is not..." and countrywide.)

Unless of course you have permission from your crew leader to shoot. (Comma after course.)

No shooting at any one who is left unsponsored from the death of their crew leader. Unless of course you have permission from your crew leader to shoot. (Anyone is one word, and comma after course.)

Only shoot at people who are designated inactives or over 48 hours old and unsponsored and not been in a family. (Should just be "inactive".)

That's all I could find.
I could be wrong about somethings, however I hope these errors I was correct about get fixed.

The tutorial you are referencing was put together 7+ years ago. It is out of date and is no longer being referred to. The new tutorials can be found under the Help tab in the menu bar. We will probably phase out the old one entirely. 

The first tutorial in the new set can be found here:  https://mafiareturns.com/comm/thread/1026866/tpass/46a8a9063a1352a95a3247a7a9be7bd0

Not to mention that half those grammar errors aren't errors at all.

The point is moot, the tutorial was in need of replacing and we are in that stage now. No sense in putting in man hours on something that will be phased out in the coming months.
