IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST
OR ‘PEAKED’
BUT PIQUED
‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’
THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA
THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY USEFUL THANK YOU
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
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)
DEFIANT - RESISTANT DEFINITE - CERTAIN
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
BAWL- TO SOB/CRY
BALL- A FUCKING BALL
YOU CANNOT “BALL” YOUR EYES OUT
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.

IT’S ‘MIGHT AS WELL’. ‘MIND AS WELL’ DOES NOT MAKE GRAMMATICAL SENSE.
SLEIGHT - DEXTERITY, ARTIFICE, CRAFT (FROM ‘SLY’) SLIGHT - VERY LITTLE, FRAIL, DELICATE

DISCRETE - SEPARATE, DISTINCT, PARTED
DISCREET - SUBTLE, STEALTHY, DIPLOMATIC
BORN= existing as a result of birth
BORNE= carried or transported by

((adm: I just want to add-
Loose- untight
Lose- opposite of winning))
((ALSO: A fun trick - Affect = Action Effect = End Result ))
There = In that place
Their = belonging to them
can’t = a contraction for cannot
cant = a tilt or lean at an angle, usually to accommodate accessibility
Here’s three more I see a lot
Definitely - a synonym for absolutely, completely, totally, etc.
Defiantly - to behave with defiance
Worse - a relative description of poor quality, “things are getting worse”
Worst - the absolute version of worse, “it was the worst”
Worse is used when a thing is badder than it used to be. Worst is used when it has become as bad as it could possibly get.
Lets - permits or allows, “the teacher lets the kids go for recess”
Let’s - a contraction of let us, “let’s go to the park”
It’s not “could of” it’s “could have” or “could’ve”. Everytime I read “she could of” something dies in me. It doesn’t make any sense grammatically. I will stop reading your text/ story instantly.
You BEAR a burden or a circumstance. As in carry or endure it.
You BARE your soul to someone. As in make your soul naked (figuratively speaking).
If something is more than you can BARE, you’re saying it’s too big for you to make it naked.
If you tell someone to BEAR with you, you’re asking them to put up with you.
If you tell them to BARE with you, you’re telling them to get naked with you.
Also…
A HORDE is a group of living beings. You can have a HORDE of invaders or mosquitos.
A HOARD is a bunch of… stuff. Treasure, gold, or whatever.
You can HOARD wealth, but you cannot HORDE it.
