I remember VANE - Verb is Affect, Noun is Effect! So you might affect something. Or something might have the wrong effect. Hope that helps! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grammarspelling-you-struggle-with#post-1650305 Wed, 21 May 2014 19:49:14 +0000 wonderstruck 1650305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apparently. Every single time I type it out, I turn the e into an a. I really don't understand why I do this, because I spell the word apparent with zero problems, but apparently (and yes, I just did it again) adding that -ly to the end really messes with my head! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grammarspelling-you-struggle-with#post-1649890 Wed, 21 May 2014 15:39:03 +0000 Freckles 1649890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>baguette.

Also I confuse i.e. and e.g. ALL THE TIME. Oh, and the difference between "that" and "which" - I never know which one to use in certain sentences. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grammarspelling-you-struggle-with#post-1649542 Wed, 21 May 2014 13:55:42 +0000 swurlygurl 1649542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to think I'm pretty good with proper grammar and spelling.</p> <p>Two faults though:<br /> Bad at punctuation. I use too many commas and too many dashes.<br /> I always misuse 'it's'. Not when I'm combining 'it is', but when referring to possessions and other what-nots. </p> <p>Oh, and spelling anything related to rhythm - that one takes me a couple tries!</p> <p>What do you have trouble with? </p>
