Grammar, Grammar, Grammar!

Kids these days need a good whack across the arm with a ruler for using incorrect grammar. It's a pet peeve of mine to see people use everyday words and expressions incorrectly, far less to see incorrect spelling. 

In the age of autocorrect and spellcheck, there is no excuse for these mistakes. 

Let's go over the basics:

An apostrophe is never used to form a plural

'Literally' means it actually happened, not that it figuratively happened.

"Loose" and "lose" are two different words

"Your" and "you're" are two different words

"Their", "there" and "they're" are actually three different words

"Affect" is a verb. "Effect" is a noun.

"It's" is short for "it is" and "its" means "belonging to it"
