Correctly quoted Ralphism
I like words. They make me nice. In my pants.
True story.
I’m not sure when my love affair with words started, but it’s been going on for a while. And I have to admit, it’s very, very satisfying.
It’s also probably part of the reason why I’m really enjoying being an English language teacher so much. And I know they say, “a picture tells a thousand words,” but for me, words do so much more.
I also have quite a penchant for rules and order (item #52), as evidenced by the existence of my Game Police badge (item #67). And on numerous occasions I have been called to to confirm the rules, or be an adjudicator, to whichever game is being played by my friends.
So it’s no surprise that I got a little moist after clicking through to a link retweeted by @lukecaporn the other week:
It is a list of ten commonly misspelled words, their meanings, and their correct use. It includes some of my favourites: your/you’re, there/their/they’re, definitely, and its/it’s.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, or if you’re one of those people who needs a little help, I hope you find it educational
While on the subject of misspelled words, how about this double whammy I spotted on a Facebook ad?



















Oh that Facebook ad is epic! I can’t decide if it made or ruined my day.
Why not go with a little from column A, and a little from column B?
Great find!! Now I can just point people in the right direction when they make a mess of a word, or use a word incorrectly.
That facebook ad just hurts my eyes!
Where is this said link by @lukecaporn?
I didn’t remember to fave his tweet, but I faved my retweet http://twitter.com/lu_lu/status/8957164184. It was on 11th Feb if you can be bothered going back that far (he tweets a lot!).
smart post on WORDS.
