I sometimes do too. For example, I recently used the word “besides” in a recent post.
After reading it over after a few weeks, I began questioning if I should have used “beside” instead of “besides.” So I looked it up on Grammarly. Here’s the answer:
Beside vs. Besides—How to Use Each
Beside and besides are quite commonly confused with one another despite their different definitions. Even though they are spelled almost the same, they are not used in the same way.
The Basic Difference Between “Beside” and “Besides”
Beside, without the s, tells us the location of something. Besides, on the other hand, means “in addition,” “in addition to,” “moreover,” or “as well,” depending on context.
And now I know.
And you do too!
I wish I had read this and had it beside my computer besides just making this mistake again.
I’m dying….
I confuse “lay” and “lie”. Not as in, “I cannot say a LAY” (😂), but do I “lie” down or do I “lay” down? I wish I cared enough to look it up!😂😂😂😂😂
No, I cannot say it does but guess it can affect people but for me there is no effect. That one always makes me wonder. If I didn’t get that one right, oh well 🙂
