So, I shared this image 4 years ago today, and I figured I'd spread the word. I still amazes me at the sheer number of native speaking Americans that can't get this without a cheatsheet. -_-

LOL

I feel like we're one of the few places left that use better grammar than the rest of the Internet and even then, we're far from perfect.

HA!

They forgot "it's" and "its", though.

Somehow I learned all of those very well in school. I guess I'm lucky!

Another one that a lot of people have trouble with: Affect vs Effect

Affect is usually a verb, and it means to impact or change. Effect is usually a noun, an effect is the result of a change.

Or half the time you can just use impact for either one
