    • Don't say 'Effect' around me
    • Effect
      when you mean affect. GRRR.


      Its
      is the possessive form for It. (NOT it's!)


      Separate
      Learn how to spell it and never look the fool again.


      Except
      Why in the world do people confuse except with accept? It's (heh) a mystery to me.


      Site
      It's a web SITE, not a web sight, from which you may cite examples.


      Y'all
      What's wrong with just "you"? Nothing, that's what.


      Ain't
      Unless you're imitating (i.e. mocking) inferior English speakers, don't. Just don't.


      Ask
      The word is pronounced ask ... A SSSS K. Not axe, A SSSS K. If you have to practice a while by enlongating the S sound, I will admire your determination to correct your English.
