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 don't really get confused, but I hate alternative spellings that is "accepted" anyway.
Travelled/traveled Cancelled/canceled I think, after about junior high, people need to get "their/they're/there" down. I also don't like it when Americans who don't speak French use French expressions AND MESS IT UP. It's painful to witness, and it's an insult to me. I don't butcher their language, and they probably should not do it to mine. |
