For the benefit of others...

Okay, so lately, I've been noticing that people who have already graduated high school STILL do not know how to write or spell or use grammar correctly. This bugs me more than you'll ever know. So here's a little cheat sheet.

 

Your shows possession.. Example: "Is that your coat?"

You're= you are.. Example: "You're cute" "You're funny" NOTTTTT "Your cute" or "Your funny"

There shows place. NOT ownership.. Example: "It is over there."

Their shows ownership. NOT place.. Example: "That is their van."

They're=they are. Example: "They're in class."

Among the plethora of misspelled words, here are four of the more common ones:

Basically

Sincerely

Peace (as in peace out, not piece out. That really gets on my nerves)

Disgusting

That is all for now. If I can think of anymore, I'll be sure to post them. =)
