You people get on my nerves with all of your misspelled words and incorrect grammar. I don’t have perfect grammar, but there are some words that there is no excuse for misspelling. It would be ok if you misspelled these fancy, “big” words, but NO you are worse than a first grader and there isn’t a valid excuse. Instead of reading your status and thinking, “How have you made it to high school or college?” I would love to notice no errors at all. Below are the most common mistakes with an example of how to use the word properly.
THERE & THEIR & THEY’RE
There- There is going to be a party tonight. Or, I am going there next week.
Their- I am going to their house tonight.
They’re- contraction for ‘they are,’ sound it out! It really isn’t that hard. i.e. They’re(they are) traveling to the Bahamas next week.
ARE & OUR
We are …or they are….
Our team won the game.
PRAY & PREY
Pray- as in praying to God (CAPITAL G!!)
Prey- Animals prey on one another, as in EAT each other. They don’t mean the same thing!
FILL & FEEL
Fill- You fill your car up with gas
Feel- an emotion, I feel happy, mad, sad
TO & TOO & TWO
To- I’m going to go to…
Too- as in also, i.e. I am going too!
Two- the number 2, please get this right or don’t move up to middle school. Spare us please.
YOUR & YOU’RE
Your- It’s your birthday!
You’re- contraction for you are, you’re going to make it! You’re so smart!
