Bad English 2
As I wrote back in May, there is some pretty bad English out there.
wookit‘s been having trouble with her affects and effects, which I can understand, they’re not the easiest words to get right some of the time – as proved by the test she linked to yesterday.
My first attempt – 13/16.
So I tried again, and managed full marks 16/16.
So even I am not perfect!
I’m better with my accepts and excepts apparently, scoring 10/10 on my first go.

RAVEN: Remember, Affect is a Verb and Effect is a Noun.
This is a really good page: Online Writing Lab: Homophones. Homophones really do cause a lot of confusion to many.
