		<description>Well shoot, I was in the process of writing the same mistake that Zach wrote.  One of my friends says things like that a lot and I thing it&#039;s hilarious!  here&#039;s another one: My phone&#039;s broke.  The word broke is actually a verb when they are trying to use it as an adjective here.</description>

		<description>When do I use effect and affect?
Most people struggle with in which circumstances do i use affect or effect. I even struggle with this concept myself. Sometimes i misuse these words without even noticing it and i have to go back and switch terms. 
 Now, would i use the sentence,
(1)&quot;gas prices affected the economy.&quot;
or the sentence,
(2)&quot;gas prices effected the economy.&quot;
Which sentence would i use in this case:
(3)&quot;Gas prices had an enormous affect on the economy&quot;
or,
(4)&quot;Gas prices had an enormous effect on the economy.&quot;
Most of the time, affect is used as a verb, and effect is used as a noun.
Since in sentence (1) and (2) affect and effect are in a position that they are verbs, sentence (1) is correct because it uses affect which should be used as a verb. 
Since in sentence (3) and (4) affect and effect are in a position that they are nouns, sentence (1) is correct because it uses effect which should be used as a noun.</description>

		<description>&quot;I don&#039;t got none.&quot;
This sentence is using a double negative, it should say; &quot;I don&#039;t have any.&quot;
&quot;I saw a eagle.&quot;
should be &quot;I saw an eagle.&quot;</description>

		<description>This is a grammar error that I see quite a bit of in my own writing.

&quot;Its a very nice day outside.&quot;

The error is in the word its.  Because in this sentence the word its is a contraction of it and is it should be spelled &quot;it&#039;s.&quot; Another similar error is when you use &quot;it&#039;s&quot; in a possessive context, but in this case, you omit the apostrophe.</description>

		<description>I work with some guys that seem to forget to use the word &quot;have&quot;, such as &quot;They been working on such and such project&quot; or &quot; We seen this one thing...&quot;.   It kind of drives me crazy, but I get over it.  The proper way to say it would be &quot;They have been working on such and such project&quot;.</description>

		<description>Some of the more common grammer errors  invloves people who say aint instead of  are not or aren&#039;t, or brung instead of brought. When you answer the phone and someone asks for you, the correct way to answer is &quot;this is she/he&quot; not &quot;this is me&quot;.  Also remembering the proper time to use certain words like effect and affect, your and you&#039;re etc.</description>

		<description>I always seem to struggle with comma placement.  I either use too many commas or I don&#039;t use enough commas.  In English 1010 the main comma that I seemed to forget is in the following example.  &quot;Sharks eat mostly squid, shrimp, crabs, and other fish.&quot; Remember that there is always a comma before  
the word &quot;and&quot; when you are listing things.</description>
