This is a draft

The international name of the language is Persian (not "Parsi", nor "Farsi").

The local name of the language is فارسی (not پارسی)

You probably need to get an Iranian keyboard layout, so you can type Persian characters easily.

The Standard Iranian keyboard layout and installation instructions: http://www.farsiweb.ir/wiki/Standard_Persian_keyboard

It's wrong to use SPACE in the middle of a word to break the joining. You should use ZWNJ for thise:
- You can type this character by pressing:
  - Windows: Shift+B
  - Linux: Shift+Space or Shift+B
- More on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_non-joiner and http://www.laits.utexas.edu/rfpit/persianword/zwnj.htm

Correct form with ZWNJ: می‌خواهم
Incorrect (with space): می خواهم 
Incorrect (joined)    : میخواهم
