Grammar 101...
RokofAges75:
I know; that's what makes it so hard.
Purpura Lipstick:
Julie that makes a little more sense, thanks. Lie/Lay is one that always trips me up and probably always will.
Have we done effect and affect yet? I know they aren't homophones but darn confusing.
RokofAges75:
That's another good one.
Effect is a noun, and affect is a verb. If something AFFECTS you, you could say it has an EFFECT on you.
That movie had great special effects!
That movie was so emotional, it really affected me.
Purpura Lipstick:
I always have to read my sentences over if I use effect or affect to make sure I've used the right one. Sometimes I have to get Amanda to help me if I can't figure it out. Thanks as always Julie. :) (don't be surprised if I ask you grammar questions some night, it's only cause you rock)

Honestly I must say I love this thread! I have dyslexia and therefore do not use proper grammar when it comes to spelling things. Things such as homonyms. (by the way when I first read [pronounced like the color] the word 'homonym' I said it like 'hoe moe' not 'hom oh'.) I am always looking for way to improve myself and while things like this are looked at as funny it really does help!
