Could you do affect and effect that really confuses me I understand they're their there and your and you're but effect and affect has never been thoroughly explained to me (and if it was I don't remember).
I was an English major in college and I go so crazy seeing people use the wrong form of that particular word. Another one that is used equally wrong is Where, wear, ware. Homonyms are a bitch indeed.
@ChrisIsThaBomb Thanks for clarifying. While I realize that was an insult, I am glad someone has clarified the difference between a conjunction and a contraction. I was thinking that a conjunction was words such as "but, and, or" that is why I wrote down a contraction, since I was thinking that fit what I was describing better.
Thanks for the input and your sentence "and to think your trying to correct us" is incorrect, it should be you're not your. Close but not quite.
I'm so glad there are people in this world who know how to spell. I know I may mess up sometimes, but I'm not continually, and purposefully doing it. I don't know, maybe the grammar we're taught in school is dieing and we'll all be taught how to type like 12 year olds.
I stopped correcting people. In my opinion, this is just as bad as confusing "further" and "farther", "coffin" and "casket", which over 80% of the English speaking population do.
I've always wondered how society can still get away with the I before E except after C rule when there are so many words which don't adhere to it (their being an example).
@Psyence1987 That is true, and I was trying to think of a way to explain that but I wasn't sure. A lot of the examples though are most commonly distance, but you are correct.

Do you do requests? lol.
Do "definately," "deffinately," and "definetly" next!

a conjunction is a joining word such as but, and, or.
a contraction is 2 words shortened to make a word such as I'm, he's, they're
and to think your trying to correct us...

Did you realise you wrote 'contraction' instead of 'conjunction' on the 'they're' board :)?

@WeDrinkAcid ahaha oh my well that was a fail. well a contraction and a conjunction are similar, I mean the words have close meanings. UGH, I failed.

"Is there a pink tutu in my size?"
"There is an octopus in my pants."
"There is no way that's really a woman."
Not always distance.
