I don’t know how many times I see people make spelling mistakes, and it really does irk me. Not so much spelling mistakes really, but grammar mistakes in general. People tend to use words wrong by spelling them incorrectly, so here we go!

Your/You’re: There is two versions of the “your” word. One is your as in your shoe. The other is you’re, as in you are, as in you’re pretty. You wouldn’t say “you are shoe” to someone, would ya?

They’re/There/Their: The same thing here. When you had ‘re to they or you, it becomes they are, and you are. Like They’re leaving now. There, as in look over there! Their, is used when talking about someone. Like Those shoes are their’s.

Who’s/Whose: Who’s = who is. Whose = Whose shoes are those?.

The apostrophe S: A lot of people don’t really understand where you should use ’s at the end of a word. You use them as possessive nouns, which is like “Ashley’s website is love-ashley.net” A lot of people also think that if the word ends in s they can just put an apostrophe on the end and that’s correct. It’s not when you’re speaking about something or someone singularly. You’d say “Chris’s house” unless you were talking about more than one Chris!

Letter Omission: This is another thing that confuses so many people.
Don’t = do not
didn’t = did not
I’m = I am
We’ll = We will
he’ll/she’ll = he/she will
who’s = who is
shouldn’t = should not
could’ve = could have

Then/than: Then is past tense. Then already happened. Than = rather.

Could’ve/Could of: Could’ve means could have not could of.

Quotation marks and punctuation: The period always goes inside the quotation marks. Like:
Correct: “Ashley really loves Lee, it’s true!”
Incorrect: “Ashley really loves Lee, it’s true”!

All right /alright: I have to admit, I use the “word” alright. It’s not correct, and it’s not even a word, but I still use it. Why? No idea. “All right” is correct.

Okay, I can’t think of anything else at the moment, but I’m sure when I see something else I’ll add it. And remember… I before E except after C!
