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. |

QUOTE(RockItStudios @ Jan 1 2008, 09:00 PM) oh! speaking of french and such! i got a PM from a chick saying my signature should be Je rêve à toi, not de. which one is it? i told her if she could find a website with a good explanation of it, i would change it. but i got the "quote" from a book and i looked it up (just to make sure it was right) and everywhere i looked assured me it was "de". I know this was cleared up already, but "de" is right. "Je rêve à toi" means "I dream to you," so I don't know what her deal was. O_o Ah, the Oxford comma. I'm so accustomed to using it; it makes me feel funny not to. |
