The good thing about the smart phones we have
now is that they all come with dictionaries pre-
installed, if you are not sure of a spelling, simply
type it out on your phone and let it correct it for
you!

And please, don't get too attached to chating abbreviations because you may unconsciously use them when writing an examination or formal write-up.

Abbey2sam:
both words are correct , what's your point?

loose = to unfasten something or unscrew a nut

lose = when you don't have something you use to have

'Loose' is always used for 'lose'

Same as 'there' used in place of 'their'

21, wrong= How do you do? Answer: Fine thank you.
Right= How do you do? Answer: how do you do too.

Note: how do you do too is answer to how do you do. Fine thank you is response to how are you?

Lilimax:
I never knew it's an English word.
It may be the longest English word with 29 alphabets

I wonder what the longest word would be if flipdjlmjfsjklmgjkfsv(whatever) isn't.

The meaning is so simple but the word's crazy!

I'm, or "I am".

Wrong--- joystick
Right--- prick

Heeyhun:

the ground rule is; 'I' comes BEFORE 'E' ,, except AFTER 'C'..
.
.

that means,, in most spellings,, letter 'I' should come before letter 'E',, as in bel'IE've..
.
.
but the EXCEPTion is in cases of spellings where letter 'C' precedes both,, then the ground rule changes- letter 'E' comes before 'I'.. As in recEIpt..
.
.
summary>>

*ground rule* >> (always) I before E.
.
.

*exceptions* (in cases of letter C only) E before I..

No 17 are both correct.

I don't need my phone to check my spellings. I am already good at spellings.

wow
tuale boss
