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(JCLore @ Jan 3 2008, 12:00 PM)  im australian and ive lived here all my life but i have american books at school Eh same here. I've always been accustomed to the English way, (colour, favourite, realised) but as I'm getting older I'm basically just using the first way that comes to mind. Plus nearly all the books I read are American, so then that way of spelling sticks in my head more. One of the main words though, is center/centre. Gets me everytime  I'll sit there for minutes thinking which one I should use haha

QUOTE(MissHygienic @ Jan 2 2008, 10:10 PM) Speaking of which, "every time" is two words. It annoys me that most of the people I talk to don't know it's two words, but I've learned to ignore it otherwise I would have killed somebody by now. ERGH. I blame it on Britney Spears's song "Everytime." |

I blame it on Britney Spears's song "Everytime." I blame it on her, too. You would expect something "published" to be correct, but no, everyone screws it up. Same with "every day," except when it's used in the right context. "Every day" is normally two words unless you're using it as an adjective of sorts. Like, your everyday clothes. But not the clothes you wear every day. God. |
