What Non-Writers Do When Not Writing

….They think about writing.

For Both of My Readers (BoMR): As you know, I am 43 years old and to this day I still haven’t figured out the difference between “affect” and “effect” despite your best efforts to teach me via your comments.

I hate thinking about these two words so much that I spend a lot of energy avoiding them. For example:

• “My son’s lack of respect impacted me greatly and he felt the results of my wrath!”
• “That movie had excellent Special Portions that are not actually filmed but are usually added later, either as minatures with stop action or computer graphics added in blue screening.

So, imagine my joy, while looking up another confusing topic: Why spell-check doesn’t like the word “dreamt” as the past tense for dream. (as in: “I had a dreamt last night”). I came across this awesome web “sight” that has concisely guided me “threw” some of the more treacherous “wheys” of the English language.

For any of you that have ever stumbled over the pitfalls of English, you “knead” “knot” take it “lieing” down “any more.”

Go “hear” now!
