Grammar

I'm a tad anal when it comes to spelling and grammar.  I know I don't always get it perfect, but I try.  It drives me a little nuts to read emails that have obvious mistakes. 

Confession: when I'm replying to an email, there have been times that I've literally gone back through and fixed the other person's mistakes in their original email to me.  Yes, I know I have issues.

To, Too, or Two??
There, Their, or They're??
New, Knew, or Gnu??  (haha)
So, Sow, or Sew??

Do you know the difference?

What about...
Your vs. You're
Allowed vs. Aloud?
Would vs. Wood?
Bare vs. Bear?
Principle vs. Principal?  (I'll admit...I do have to think about this one)

That doesn't cover not knowing how to spell in the first place.  And don't even get me started on punctuation!

Ok, ok.  Perhaps the English language isn't all that easy.  I get that.  And perhaps I should stop picking on certain people who have trouble spelling things properly (you know who you are...haha). 

Perhaps this explains some of the confusion, or perhaps it just makes it all the more confusing?!  It's a tad old school, but none-the-less, it's true...

And now I'm reading through this post several times hoping I haven't inadvertently messed something up.  I'm sure I'll hear about it if I did.  ;-)
