Hello everybody, it's...Master Scythe-kun with his awesome grammar mistake thread. These are all common mistakes that everybody and some point in their lifetime, have made. Lord94 will be helping me out here.
Affect for Effect
Affect= verb meaning to influence: Will lack of sleep affect your game?
Effect= noun meaning result or consequence: Will lack of sleep have an effect on your game?
Accept for Except
Accept= verb meaning to recieve or to agree: He accepted their praise graciously
Except= preposition meaning all but, other than: Everyone wanted to go to the game except Alyson.
Advise for Advice
Advise= verb that means to recommend, suggest, or counsel: I advise you to be cautious
Advice= noun that means an opinion or recommendation about what could or should be done: I'd like to ask for your advice on this matter.
Conscious for Conscience
Conscious= adjective meaning awake, perceiving: Despite a head injury, the patient remained conscious
Conscience= noun meaning the sens of obligation to be good: Chris wouldn't cheat because his conscience wouldn't let him.
To help you remember: Remember from pinocchio the little cricket that told him right for wrong? That was his conscience.
Alrighty, there is the first chunk, everyday I'll either edit this (probably) or just make a new post.
