Have you ever spelled a word that just looked wrong, no matter how many times you spelled it?
It's happened to all of us at one point and time. For example: the words "a lot". Do you use it as
one word? "Alot". I've done it plenty of times.
Well, I did a quick google and found this great site, that has almost all the misused words or phrases.
Thought you might get a kick out of it. I thought it was extremely interesting.
It gives the right and wrong way of each word.
Example:
Wrong___CD-ROM disk
Right___CD-ROM
"CD-ROM" stands for "compact disc, read-only memory," so adding another "disc" or "disk" is redundant.
The same goes for "DVD" (from "Digital Video Disc" or "Digital Versatile Disc""—there are non-video versions).
Don’t say "give me that DVD disk," just "give me that DVD."
Common ErrorsIt also has a section on "What is said" and "What it meant".
My favorite is "Card Shark", since I like to play cards.
"If you're good at cards, you're not a "Card Shark", you are "Cardsharp".
Said, MeantNo wonder people get so up set (upset) on the internet. They meen (mean) one thing but wright (write) another.
