Anyway it's so educative.

very confusing words.....

I try, I know most of them. I used to have problem with Affect and effect. "Advice and advise"; "practice and practise". Some people do not know which one is noun or verb. If you are confused, just remember that the one with "C" is noun.

11th one is EXTEND and EXTENT. So many Nairalanders have murdered this word in cold blood. Eg. I begged him to the EXTEND that... Haba na, Maka why? Extend? Na rope?

Re: 10 Words You Need To Start Spelling Correctly by Affable0709(m): 12:57pm On Jul 20, 2016
I beg to differ, the it's with the apostrophe declares possession, eg, it's mine, etc.

Its : it is. eg, its alright, its good, it is okay.

.Thanks for the weather and whether, I mix them a lot.
