IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST

OR ‘PEAKED’

BUT PIQUED

‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’

THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA

[owlbearcounter]

THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY USEFUL THANK YOU

[ranetree]

ADDITIONALLY:

YOU ARE NOT ‘PHASED’. YOU ARE ‘FAZED.’

IF IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG DAY, YOU ARE ‘WEARY’. IF SOMEONE IS ACTING IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU SUSPICIOUS, YOU ARE ‘WARY’.

ALL IN ‘DUE’ TIME, NOT ‘DO’ TIME

‘PER SE’ NOT ‘PER SAY’

THANK YOU

[tassiekitty]

BREATHE - THE VERB FORM IN PRESENT TENSE

BREATH - THE NOUN FORM

THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE

WANDER - TO WALK ABOUT AIMLESSLY

WONDER - TO THINK OF IN A DREAMLIKE AND/OR WISTFUL MANNER

THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE (but one’s mind can wander)

[fairywails]

DEFIANT - RESISTANT DEFINITE - CERTAIN

[melancholicmarionette]

WANTON - DELIBERATE AND UNPROVOKED ACTION (ALSO AN ARCHAIC TERM FOR A PROMISCUOUS WOMAN)

WONTON - IT’S A DUMPLING THAT’S ALL IT IS IT’S A FUCKING DUMPLING

[proletariatbitch]

BAWL- TO SOB/CRY

BALL- A FUCKING BALL

YOU CANNOT “BALL” YOUR EYES OUT

[soggywarmpockets]

AND FOR FUCK’S SAKE, IT’S NOT “SIKE”; IT’S “PSYCH”. AS IN “I PSYCHED YOU OUT”; BECAUSE YOU MOMENTARILY MADE SOMEONE BELIEVE SOMETHING THAT WASN’T TRUE.

THANK YOU.

[everylineeverystory]

*slams reblog*

[leonawriter]

IT’S ‘MIGHT AS WELL’. ‘MIND AS WELL’ DOES NOT MAKE GRAMMATICAL SENSE.

[penbrydd]

SLEIGHT - DEXTERITY, ARTIFICE, CRAFT (FROM ‘SLY’) SLIGHT - VERY LITTLE, FRAIL, DELICATE

IT’S ‘SLEIGHT OF HAND’.

[maverlok]

[celynbrum]

DISCRETE - SEPARATE, DISTINCT, PARTED

DISCREET - SUBTLE, STEALTHY, DIPLOMATIC

[ceruleancynic]

AND TO CONTINUE THE OP’S THEME

IT’S SNEAK PEEK

NOT SNEAK PEAK

A SNEAK PEAK WOULD BE A MOUNTAIN ENGAGED IN ESPIONAGE

THEY ARE VERY LARGE AND WOULD FIND THIS GENERALLY DIFFICULT 

THANK

(OH AND ONE OTHER THING

BULLION = PRECIOUS METAL

BOUILLON = STOCK, FROM THE FRENCH “BOUILLER,” TO BOIL)

I love this post so much oh my god 😂

“A MOUNTAIN ENGAGED IN ESPIONAGE” I’m losing my shit

[archival-hogwash]

To my followers who speak & write in English as a second language: the caps locks and the frustration might come across as scary or even personally pointed, but all the information is valuable, even (and lbr ESPECIALLY) to native English speakers & writers!

[alizardjae]

Break= To shatter, stop working, be made to fall apart; the verb and noun form of “broken”

Brake= To attempt to stop; the part of a vehicle that allows one to stop

[shieldmaiden19]

I do editing and proofreading semi-professionally, so believe me when I say that this is something a lot of native English speakers could learn something from. *pointed look*

[otahkoapisiakii]

One’s I see a lot:

Sore = to be in mild physical pain or discomfort Soar = to increase in height rapidly/to fly without flapping wings 

You can’t have your cake and eat it too = you literally can though? You have cake? You can eat it! Nothing’s stopping you! The sky’s the limit! You can’t eat your cake and have it too = you can’t have incompatible things at the same time

Hoar (also hoary) = white or grey in colour, frequently used to impress the idea of great age though it’s not exclusively an age signifier  Whore = someone considered promiscuous, especially a woman/a derogatory name for a sex worker, particularly a street-based FSSW

Whinge = to complain or wail distressfully  Whine = to make a whirring or humming sound (although in North American English and popularly on the internet, we use “whine” for both whine and whinge)

[nvidel]

While we’re being helpful (IN ALL CAPS):

A BATH IS THE NOUN FORM USED TO DESCRIBE [USUALLY] THE CLEANING OF ONESELF. BATHE IS THE VERB FORM, UNLESS YOU ARE SPEAKING QUEENS ENGLISH, IN WHICH CASE THE VERB FORM IS BATHS.

also

CLOTH IS THE MATERIAL USED TO MAKE CLOTHING. CLOTHE IS THE VERB FORM USED TO DESCRIBE THE DRESSING OF ONESELF. CLOTHES IS A NOUN AND PLURAL FORM USED TO DESCRIBE ARTICLES TO BE WORN.

[thingsthatmakeyouacey]

This is the first election without the full Voting Rights Act — and it's already a disaster

Is it any wonder that black voter turnout in many states is down sharply?

Overall, Roberts’ decision means more than 860 fewer polling stations in places with a history of disenfranchisement. State governments in Wisconsin, Texas, Ohio, and North Carolina are ignoring federal court orders to provide proper voting facilities.

a good and pretty short read.

[kyssthis16]

[marauders4evr]

Clinton lost Florida by 3%.

The third party was at 4%.

But hey…at least you all took a stand right?

[orbs-and-things]

Yeah because I voted for who I wanted, not for who everyone else wanted

[marauders4evr]

Yeah?

And how’d that work out for you?
