It doesn't matter if we're writing a book, short story, email or note to Aunt Hilda. The danger of using the wrong form of a word lurks. Spell Check won't catch it if it's a "real" word and just means something else.

 

Mike Dennis and I have developed a proposal for a book called "You Don't Say" dealing with all of the strange aspects of the English language. I decided to have a little fun with the wrong word syndrome today. Check it out. Do you have favorites? Add them to the comment box at the end of the article.
