It's all Aaron's fault! *pout* See his post, linked above?
Ok so here's my "common writing mistake".... I have none :)
Yeah, I'm so perfect, I have no mistakes.
Well ok, mebbe just 1.
I tend to overuse "anyway". Like, "so anyway there I was....."
Ok now I must conciously suppress the urge to put "anyway" in future blog posts...
Anyway, that's for.... errr, wait, there it is again... *slap the "anyway"*
So as I was saying.... that's for future blog posts. For now, as per what Aaron suggested, here's the list faithfully reproduced:
Instructions:
To play this game, all you must do is explain what your most common writing mistake is. Then, you simply tag five individuals for the meme. Those five people will, in return, tag five more people. Ultimately, readers should see a tapestry of common grammar and spelling mistakes. Therefore, anyone that is feeling ashamed of their errors will feel a bit more confident and secure.
Copy the person and persons names who sent it to you and add your own at the bottom of the list. It really helps build community.
Shine with Grace : Mixing the word “from” with “form” all the timeTrinity’s most common mistake : I sometimes feel confused to use past tense or present tense when I share my stories.
LadyJava : typing too fast that sometimes I miss words in between
Genie King: I type too fast too…always end up with “tot he”…when it should be “to the”
Bobo: makes too many mistakes all the time. She tend to miss out the word “not”.
Endoh: Can’t differentiate British or American spelling at times.
Claudia: Although a teach I is, I could everytime made mistook when I wrote and spoke. (Got it?)
Aaron: I used to always mix up than and then. It even sounds alike to me!
FoxTwo: Tend to overuse the word "anyway"
Now, I tag the following people:
pinklittlefigurentt
sylviadoanx
sentosagirl
arzhou
Don't blame me okay? Aaron started it *points at Aaron*
