I am totally LOVING school. Things have started to even themselves out and life is good. I am doing very well and believe it or not, my psychology class is almost over. I am really going to miss it. It has been fun.
For both of my classes, writing papers is a major part of it. With that comes the need for excellent grammatical skills, which I hope I possess. I was sent this one day and I love it. When I'm reading some of the things that fellow students write in my classes, they sound fine until you hit a word that is misspelled or means a completely different thing. So here it is... enjoy!
I have run into the definitely/defiantly one before as well as someone who had their dog "berried" in a cemetery, people who do not "no" the difference and take things for "granite", grandparents who have "pasted" away, people who are satisfied "costumers" at a store, people who do "coarse" work at school, dogs that are "bread" to have puppies, work that people "redue" and the ever popular taking a village to "raze" a child. I am sure there are more, but those are the ones that come to mind. They often make me smile -- I think because I can so easily visualize things like a dog being "berried."
In the words of my sister..."Use that Blahsmic Vinegar stuff".
Sometimes I drive myself(and others) crazy with my constant "checking" of things I read, or things I hear.
