i got a haircut. yay?
and food coma was good. brazilian barbeque was tasty. or, i mean, tastey. i got into an argument with my bro to what would be more annoying: spelling "tasty" "tastey" or misusing a word, s.a. "your" and "you're". i get irritated more when people misuse a word. here's others:
Than, Then:
Than is a conjunction used in comparisons; then is an
adverb denoting time. That pizza is more than I can eat. Tom laughed, and then
we recognized him.
Hints: Than is used to compare; both words have the letter a in them.
Then tells when; both are spelled the same, except for the first letter.
There, Their, They're: There is an adverb specifying place; it is also an expletive.
Adverb: Sylvia is lying there unconscious. Expletive: There
are two plums left. Their is a possessive pronoun.
They're is a contraction of
they are. Fred and Jane finally washed their car.
They're later than usual
today.
Hints:If you are using there to tell the reader where, both words have h-e-r-e. Here is also a place.
If you are using their as a possessive pronoun, you are telling the reader what
"they own. Their has h-e-i-r, which also means heir, as in someone who inherits something. Both words have to do with ownership.
They're is a contraction of they are. Sound out they are in the sentence and see if it works. If it does not, it must be one of the previous versions.
To, Too, Two:
To is a preposition; too is an adverb; two is a
number. Too many of your shots slice to the left, but the last two
were right on the mark.
so there. i said it. i'm a grammar nazi. i don't care. LOL.Hints:If you are trying to spell out the number, it is always t-w-o.
Too is usually used as also when adding or including some additional information. Whenever you want to include something else, think of it as adding; therefore you also need to add an extra o.
