This is a short simple blog (probably more useful for students) that I just couldn't help but write. So many people attempt to use big bombastic words in conversations, SMS and essays but always wind up making the silliest and simplest spelling mistakes. Hate to bring it to you kids, but these mistakes are simply unacceptable.
COMMON MISTAKES:
a) Then & Than
* 'Then' is best said to describe a period of time (exe: it was THEN I noticed it was already morning). 'Than' is used to compare two object or subjects (exe: I'd rather be short THAN paralysed).
b) -ing
* I've noticed many tend to not remove the 'e' at the end of a word before adding in the '-ing'(exe: 'coming' becomes 'comeing', 'loving' becomes 'loveing', etc).
c) And & End
* 'End' is the finishing or conclusion to something. 'And' is to combine two or more object, subject, event etc.
d) Pronouncing 'Ate'
* The word 'Ate' is NOT pronounced like 'at'. The correct pronounciation would be something like 'eight' without so much of the 'i'.
That's all I can think of for now. Will add in more as time progresses and more mistakes grab my attention. Till then...
TO BE CONTINUED :)
