Can we have some kind of thread or place to go which will explain many of the problem words in this forum ??
I mean like:
Then there are all the rest like your, you’re, whether, weather, accept, except, than, then, affect, effect, to, too, where, were, who’s, whose, principle, principal and the best one……. who & whom.
Don't get me wrong, I'm no trying to teach an English class here, but sometimes it's really hard to understand what someone is asking or even answering when so many words are confusing and we have to guess what someone is trying to say.
Wanna keep on doing it the lazy way is fine, but don't always expect good answers if the majority of the people can't read sloppy spelling. Grammar's a different story. That, one can usually muddle through, but these words are so easy if one just takes the time to think and not put the burden always on the reader or listener.
I mean like:
- They’re …….. is a contraction for They are as in….. Custer said they’re all around us, we’re frickin’ dead meat.
- Their shows possession such as a form of the possessive case of they used as an attributive adjective, before a noun in that is their blanket, put it down
- Everything else is “there.” “There goes the ball, out of the park! See it? Right there! There aren’t very many home runs like that.” “Their” is a common misspelling, but you can avoid it by remembering that “they” and “their” begin with the same three letters. Another hint: “there” has “here” buried inside it to remind you it refers to place, while “their” has “heir” buried in it to remind you that it has to do with possession.
Then there are all the rest like your, you’re, whether, weather, accept, except, than, then, affect, effect, to, too, where, were, who’s, whose, principle, principal and the best one……. who & whom.
