They're there, now.
Aug 4, 2022, 12:37 PM
|

A quick primer on 'there, their, they’re' for those interested, and for no particular reason.
They’re = They are. “What are they doing? They’re (they are) playing ball.” Action.
Their = Possession, belonging to. “We lost the ball. It is their ball now.” The ball belongs to the other team, not us.
There = Pretty much every other use. Technically an adverb, with a location and ‘where’ quality to it. “There it is!” = Something is being pointed out as being somewhere. “There is no crying in baseball” = No crying where? Baseball. “There are a lot of questions about DJ this season” = Questions about DJ exist, the where being among those doing the questioning and wherever those thoughts are shared.
Carry on.

Affect is a verb. "This legislation will affect the economy in unknown ways." "It was the users that were most affected." "This affects everyone."
Effect is a noun. "The effect of that legislation on the economy was unexpected." "Those were great special effects."
Mrs. wbl just offered this up on Affect / Effect: "A" is for Action, "E" is for End result.

Precision in language is dying.
Today, there’s less caring, less trying,
The skulls are much thicker,
And texting is quicker,
But boy, do folks make time for crying…
Now get off my lawn.

I am surprised at the struggles with "gone" vs. "going" in the world of pro athlete tweets.

I have 2 things
Aug 4, 2022, 5:57 PM
|

The first is the words sit and set as in I’m going to sit down.
The second is using the words a and an correctly before a word.
And of course lose and loose.

Late to the game, but “sell” and “sale”

No, something is not “for sell!”
It’s not “on sell”
