Great link Gypsy. Now we'll see if it's used by anyone.

The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.
The same goes for "they're", "their", and "there".
Also in knowing when to use whom, who, and whose. I need this, since I'm going back to school next month to finish up my communications degree. One has to learn how to write properly, speak eloquently, and convey the ideas without sounding like a fool, right?

And also 'where' and 'were.'

This little thing really messes with the supernatural authoring crowd, I bet.

Should it be: Wherewolves or werewolves, warewolves, wierwolves, wearwolves, wirewolves or whorewolves?

Whorewolves sound interesting.

Then / than is an irritation I see on an almost daily basis.

When comparing one thing with another you may find that one is more appealing “than” another. “Than” is the word you want when doing comparisons. But if you are talking about time, choose “then“: “First you separate the eggs; then you beat the whites.” Alexis is smarter than I, not “then I.”

Good post Gypsy
Thank you Gypsy for this post.

English as my third language I know it has lots of holes.. however I do hope that it will improve (eventually) and this common errors just might help. The whole comparison writen down on one place can make my learning easily.
Thanks again!
The form alright as a one-word spelling of the phrase all right in all of its senses probably arose by analogy with such words as already and altogether. Although alright is a common spelling in written dialogue and in other types of informal writing, all right is used in more formal, edited writing.

How about?

Ebonics 101:

AIGHT; adverb

This place sucks, it's more akin to a cock ranch aight?

AIGHT: adjective

This place be aight, if there were more females.

...and learning is half the battle. Form of a water buffalo, shaped of an ice crystal. Power twins unite.
