On problem that I encounter in my writing is that i tend to get words confused that sound the same but are spelled differently. I bet that this happens to everyone. I get to these words and I just cant see which one sounds best and I don't even bother to look them up. In this class I have learned that I can't be lazy and that I need to look up the words that I don't know.
Some of these words are like:
except and accept
affect and effect ( this one kills me)
advise and advice
conscience and conscious
and there are much more...
For more of these words and how to tell them apart visit this website:

Hey just an update, I am still working on my paper. I am just struggling to start writing and I found out that some of my research may not work as well as I would like so I am way stuck and way stressed but I am going to get it to you hopefully no later than Tuesday. Sorry it is taking me SOOOO LONG! We are having the same type of grammar post that is so funny!
