This is an interesting one. We know what we’re saying, yet when we write, we get both words mixed up. In fact, there shouldn’t be a confusion because the words are not even homophones . They are pronounced a little differently. One is spelt with a “ v ” and the other with an “ f “.

save (v.) – to keep (there are other meanings as well)

safe (adj.) – not in danger, protected

Examples:

I had to "SAFE" myself because the fire could not be extinguished. (X)

I had to "SAVE" myself because the fire could not be extinguished. (√)

They are now "SAVE" from the horrible weather. (X)

They are now "SAFE" from the horrible weather. (√)


Now that you know the difference, make sure you save
your money in a safe place. Make sure you know how to spell the word correctly. Often what you speak is not what you write. Isn’t English interesting?

And please enlighten this people the difference between "avoid" and "afford,then "am" and "i'm".
