Common Writing Mistakes to Avoid

Just a short post today.

I stumbled upon an interesting article on StumbleUpon.com today titled “20 Misused Words That Make Smart People Look Dumb.  You can see it here.

I suggest you read this article.  It has great advice that any writer — and we’re all writers — needs to know.

I’ll add one set: your vs. you’re.  Your is he possessive — your house, your car, you friend.  You’re is a contraction that means “you are.”  All too often I see people using your when they mean you are.  Don’t make this mistake.
