        Site, as in place, or webSITE

        not sight. (also, not cite, but that's not a common mistake)

          In the musical sense, yes. But if you're talking about a measurement of stacked firewood, or rope, it is still cord.

            These are some my history teacher makes AAAALL the time.

            ETCETERA not "exetera"
            ESPECIALLY not "expecially"
            CHRISTIANITY not "christian" when referring to the religion itself, not a follower of it.
            ISLAM not "muslim" when referring to the religion itself, not a follower of it.
            WELL not "good" when used as an adverb.

            It's so annoying.

              "I'm doing good."

              Maybe if the speaker is a paladin or a cleric.

                      Apostrophes are for ninnies.

                        Oh and another thing that needs to be corrected: "(sports teams from NY, Boston, Texas, and the Packers) dont smoke pole." They do, so quit pretending they dont.

                              Oh... duh. Paintball talk on a paintball forum, how novel!

                              I have affected the outcome of this thread. The effect has been negligible.

                              Feel free to compliment me, I could use the self-esteem boost. It would be more helpful, however, to complement these tips with contributions of your own. (I could have attempted a hyphenation lesson here, but I think that would be too much.)
