IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST

OR ‘PEAKED’

BUT PIQUED

‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’

THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA

THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY USEFUL THANK YOU

ADDITIONALLY:

YOU ARE NOT ‘PHASED’. YOU ARE ‘FAZED.’

IF IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG DAY, YOU ARE ‘WEARY’. IF SOMEONE IS ACTING IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU SUSPICIOUS, YOU ARE ‘WARY’.

ALL IN ‘DUE’ TIME, NOT ‘DO’ TIME

‘PER SE’ NOT ‘PER SAY’

THANK YOU

BREATHE - THE VERB FORM IN PRESENT TENSE

BREATH - THE NOUN FORM


THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE


WANDER - TO WALK ABOUT AIMLESSLY

WONDER - TO THINK OF IN A DREAMLIKE AND/OR WISTFUL MANNER


THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE (but one’s mind can wander)

DEFIANT - RESISTANT
DEFINITE - CERTAIN

WANTON - DELIBERATE AND UNPROVOKED ACTION (ALSO AN ARCHAIC TERM FOR A PROMISCUOUS WOMAN)

WONTON - IT’S A DUMPLING THAT’S ALL IT IS IT’S A FUCKING DUMPLING

BAWL- TO SOB/CRY

BALL- A FUCKING BALL

YOU CANNOT “BALL” YOUR EYES OUT

AND FOR FUCK’S SAKE, IT’S NOT “SIKE”; IT’S “PSYCH”. AS IN “I PSYCHED YOU OUT”; BECAUSE YOU MOMENTARILY MADE SOMEONE BELIEVE SOMETHING THAT WASN’T TRUE.

THANK YOU.

*slams reblog*

IT’S ‘MIGHT AS WELL’. ‘MIND AS WELL’ DOES NOT MAKE GRAMMATICAL SENSE.

SLEIGHT - DEXTERITY, ARTIFICE, CRAFT (FROM ‘SLY’)
SLIGHT - VERY LITTLE, FRAIL, DELICATE

IT’S ‘SLEIGHT OF HAND’.

CAN I ADD TO THIS TOO?

IT’S NOT ‘COULD OF’, THAT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER. IT’S ‘COULD HAVE’. SAME APPLIES TO ‘SHOULD HAVE’.

And this is why my students look at me as though I’m the devil when I try to tell them that no i’m not lying this really is a thing

IT’S ‘COULDN’T CARE LESS’ NOT ‘COULD CARE LESS’ IF YOU COULD CARE LESS THAT MEANS YOU CARE

it’s ‘couldn’t care less’ not
‘could care less’ if you could care
less that means you care



^Haiku^bot^0.4. Sometimes I do stupid things (but I have improved with syllables!). Beep-boop!

I laughed so hard

as a person whose native language isn’t English, I truly appreciate this

as a person who’s native language isn’t English I can’t believe that there are ppl who’s native language IS English that need to be told this

IT’S FORTY, NOT FOURTY.

IT’S “I WANT TO” NOT “I WANT TOO.” “TO” HERE IS BECAUSE YOU ARE IMPLYING A VERB INFINITIVE. “ALSO” DOES NOT MAKE SENSE IM THIS CONTEXT.

CLOTHS - MORE THAN ONE PIECE OF FABRIC

Ok so I kind of assumed Arrow would backdoor pilot some kind of NextGen spin-off, but… are they really gonna make Juliana & Katie sign on to do an entire show in middle-aged makeup? I’m wondering if/hoping that Crisis is gonna shift some things to:

a. change up the future timeline so Arrow doesn’t end with Oliver & the present day team failing their ultimate mission and/or dying

b. let Juliana & Katie play appropriately aged Dinah & Laurel

I’d also prefer, if they’re gonna do full NextGen spinoff, they let William & Connor also be leads with Mia, at the very least to add some diversity to the main lineup.

@whitecanarrow @birdonawiresara @greentippedarrow @mickeysjones LOOK AT CAITY’s OFFICIAL FB GIVING ME CANARROW FEELS!

DAMN STRAIGHT IT STARTED WITH THE TWO OF THEM. There better be a quality Sara & Oliver moment in the crossover before Arrow ends.

‪Currently preoccupied with a dnd homebrew idea to make a giant ant ranger companion… a medium-sized creature but with the strength to body weight ratio of a regular sized ant. Its attacks are just throwing enemies around the battlefield.‬
