The English Language (and its' usage)

[Jimbob]

Thought I would start this one off:

1/. "Affect" and "Effect" are two different words with two different meanings.

2/. When you feel like saying "Could of" please feel free to put "Could have" instead!

3/. Read "Eats, Shoots and Leaves."

Rather than allowing my rant to continue feel free to add to this list. Spellings would be useful as would correct plurals.

Will admit that I always use full words even when writing Text messages and I can't stand 'Text Speak'.
