what are some words you get mixed up? (other then they're/there/their and you're/your and such)
i get my "american" and english words mixed up a lot. i started thinking about it because of the whole realized topic. i find myself using a lot of english words, even though i grew up in the US. (i'm 100% scottish) my most common ones are color/colour and realized/realised. |

I have a tendency to spell out "theatre" over "theater." Aside from the words, I had to get used to the American style of using punctuation marks, especially at the end of a sentence because I got used to the British style.
For example: American: When it comes to periods and quotes at the end of a sentence, the American style requires you to put the last punctuation mark within the "quotations." British: When it comes to periods and quotes at the end of a sentence, the British style requires you to put the last punctuation mark after the "quotations". |
