In this thread we give random CORRECT advice

[AZTheta]

a part (of), not apart (of)

would have/should have/could have, not would of, should of, could of

to/too/two - not the same things, folks

your/you're - same as to/too/two

Lily already covered the use of "its" and "it's". Someone else caught their/there/they're.

Good idea: study the use of apostrophes, semicolons, and colons.

Eats, Shoots & Leaves is a must read.

Just because a word is "in the dictionary" doesn't mean that it's correct or acceptable to use it. Read the entire definition.

Burning a bridge may seem "fun" but you never know when you might need that bridge again.

When trying a new product that goes on your skin (Nair, makeup, lotion, etc.) do a small test patch first. It's no fun when your skin blisters.

Take a shower, brush your hair, and dress neatly for job interviews. Do not eat messy foods before and check a mirror before going into the interview, arrive on time, early is better.
