Mistakes that make you look dumb.

Daily Tip

1. Could of, Should of, Would of.

Please do not write this: “I could of done my homework.”

The correct way to write it is: “Could have, should have, would have.”

It’s HAVE not OF!

2. Do not write ‘anyways’. It’s not ‘anyways’, it’s ‘anyway’. Without the ‘s’.

3. When writing, don’t use run-on sentences. An independent clause and a dependent clause go well together. However, do not join two independent clauses together with a comma slice. It is bad writing.

4. Incorrect: Me and Allison went to the store.

Correct: Allison and I went to the store.
