Is it correct to say "we don't have access to your website and we will have to register to it to use it"?

"We register to a website" and "we register to it". Am I correct?

Omit "to it". It is unnecessary. It is "register with" if you want to use it.

Write out 50 times 'I must begin every sentence with a capital letter'.

I am sorry. I don't know how it happened. Probably a glitch because every time I write a new sentence my phone switches from small to capital letters.

Stop blaming the technology, tufguy. Every smartphone has a keyboard that has a Shift key. You've identified that your phone doesn't automatically use a capital letter after a full stop so you now know that you have to change it yourself. The problem, as usual, is your lack of attention and lack of patience. We have told you over and over again that you must read your own posts before you submit them, so that you can spot (and fix) basic errors like that yet you continue to post them without checking.

My phone has this feature. It uses capital letters after I end a sentence. In these three sentences it switched from small to capital letters itself.

Hmmm. Interesting. How then did you manage to post a long multi- sentence screed with no punctuation or capital letters?

I have Android, and my phone automatically capitalizes the next letter after a period (full stop). Saves time and trouble.

Tufguy, I have two kinds: lowercase and uppercase (capital) letters. I don't think I have ever heard of small letters before.

To be fair, some young children and some learners refer to them as big letters and small/little letters.

If your phone already has this feature but you suspect there was a glitch before, it's even more important that you read back over your posts to check that the glitch hasn't happened again, before you post.
