I've made some typos that had me mortified and giggling. ;)<br /><br />Tara-All right! :D I will do effect and affect soon.<br /><br />Tonja-There are some words I have to stop and doublecheck in my writing to make sure they're right. Even though I know what it SHOULD be, I have a tendency to switch some words automatically while I'm writing.<br /><br />Shanna-I see "your" and "you're" a lot, too, but for some reason it doesn't bother me as much as these two I posted. I'm weird. ;)<br /><br />Donna-Thank you!<br /><br />bookwormprinces-LOL, I totally understand. You should see some of the things I've switched up before. ;)<br /><br />Cynthia-Thank you! I think there are words that trip any writer up--we're writing so fast that typos and errors are inevitable. Which is why we end up with so many edits and rewrites. O_o<br /><br />Donna-Thank you! :DLaura Josephsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239501665574945313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028925612974754200.post-71094175827044545832011-08-14T18:12:45.912-05:002011-08-14T18:12:45.912-05:00I try to stay alert for such look-alike words, bu...I try to stay alert for such look-alike words, but they sometimes trip me up nonetheless.

That being ...Ahh, yes. Grammar is 'portant. ;)<br /><br />That being said, please have mercy on me while reading my story. There is a chapter where they eat dessert in the desert and I can guarantee that I switched a few of them up. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028925612974754200.post-59500104593023358002011-08-14T13:31:44.232-05:002011-08-14T13:31:44.232-05:00I'm loving the drawings.I'm loving the drawings.Donna Shieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607270459657152401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028925612974754200.post-52843045160633758032011-08-14T12:45:51.110-05:002011-08-14T12:45:51.110-05:00Haha!

I've never heard of someone confusing "stared" and "starred", but I guess I see how they could.<br /><br />Also, the "lose" "loose" thing kills me, too. I never had problem with it because "loose" sounds like it has two "o"s in it. At least to me it does.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm really going to enjoy these posts! I'll probably learn something, as well.<br /><br />Another thing that bothers me: people mistaking "you're" and "your".<br /><br />It should be, "You're so beautiful!"<br /><br />And: "Why is your house elf dancing?" <br /><br />LOL. I bet as this goes on, I'm going to realize even more pet peeves. It'll be awesome!<br /><br />And sorry for not e-mailing you. I was busy with my sister's birthday, but I'll shoot you one as soon as I can;)Shannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00560828930847931802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028925612974754200.post-49058104379446096372011-08-14T11:58:43.894-05:002011-08-14T11:58:43.894-05:00I LOVE this!!

The other one I see a lot of is 'definately' (maybe because of the way it's pronounced in some accents).mooderinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523337588830695638noreply@blogger.com
