A lot: to a great degree or extent; “They had a lot of sex toys and planned to use every single one of them.”

Effect: a noun; the result of; “The effect of his gaze was apparent by the damp spot I left on the cushion.”

(i.e.,): in other words; “When my Owner gave me the new list of house rules, I was completely discombobulated (i.e., confused).”
(e.g.,): for example; “The most important rule was that I never be late - unless there was a valid reason (e.g., family emergency).”
It’s: a contraction of 'it is’ (if you can’t substitute 'it is’ you can’t use 'it’s’); “It’s such a pity that you decided to ignore my warning; now it’s the cage all night for you.”

Their: used to show possession (try replacing with 'our’; if 'our’ makes sense, you can use 'their’); “Their cum mixed together in a swirl of passion, and then leaked into her underwear all damn day.”

That: refers to groups or things; “He has the kind of hands that make my sheets damp.”
Who: refers to people;“I wouldn’t date someone who didn’t go down on me.”
Whom: an object of a verb or preceding preposition; too hard to explain without multiple examples, so here’s a quick cheat: Like 'whom,’ the pronoun 'him’ ends with an /m/. When you’re trying to decide whether to use 'who’ or 'whom,’ ask yourself if the answer to the question would be 'he’ or 'him.’ If the answer is 'him,’ use 'whom’; “Who did you blow last night? Him? Oh, I’m sorry, I meant whom did you blow…”
Your: second person possessive adjective, used to describe something as belonging to someone (i.e., usually followed by a noun); “Your cock is much bigger than his. I already said that.”
You’re: a contraction of 'you are.’ (If you can’t substitute 'you are’ then you can’t use 'you’re’); “You’re seriously telling me you don’t know this rule by now?”
