I'd split home care when it applies things that need done around the house. <br /><br />@Linda, I do a lot of googling. When that fails to satisfy, I start phoning friends. <br /><br />@Diane, I like easy grammar cheats!<br /><br />@Patricia, even with simple spelling there are words I have to pause on. Like was...it's breaking the rules of phonics and will sometimes make me scratch my head. <br /><br />@Alex, thanks!!<br /><br />@Tyrean, having fun and easy rules helps me remember.

It's even more interesting when they're different in UK English than they are in US English. Merriam-Webster and Oxford don't always agree, but at least they tell me which side of the ocean wants which word variant.<br /><br />The one rule I know for sure is that Grammarly is rarely correct, and Word is even worse. I always envision the programmers snickering to themselves as they toss in another line of code that will lead innocent writers astray.<br /><br />This is a great post that hits the most commonly misapplied words!Lynda Dietzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442214431341019380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136420115688099157.post-62495725639963497432019-05-27T05:54:05.678-04:002019-05-27T05:54:05.678-04:00Home care or homecare?
