In reply to Michelle | Flipped-Out Food. By "commonly confused words," I do indeed mean COMMON. These are everywhere! Thanks for the suggestion of apostrophe usage. I'll add it to the list to illustrate!

This is great! Editing is a big part of my "real job," and I see a few of these mistakes over and over. They never fail to give me hives, ha ha. Instilling these rules with images is a great idea. If you could tackle apostrophe abuse next, you'd be doing the world another great service!

In reply to Soheila Hakimi. It's SO COMMON! You're not alone, and there's nothing to be ashamed about -- just read and practice the rules and it will come!
