Some of my grievances include:
- unnecessary use of apostrophes.
Plural. I picked the boys up from school.
Possessive. The boy's football gear was missing
- your vs you're.
Your is possessive. Is that your dog?
You're is a contraction of you and are. You're the one responsible for getting it right.
-their vs there
Their is possessive. Look at their dog
There is a pronoun or refers to a place. Look over there
-affect vs effect
Affect is a verb. Eating too much will affect your weight.
Effect is a noun. The effect of eating too much is putting on weight.
- spelling - check it!
