My blogs reflect my research interests and reflections on issues in teaching, PowerPoint, social media, faculty evaluation, student assessment, time management, and humor in teaching/training and in the workplace. Occasional top 10 lists may also appear on timely topics. They are intended for your professional use and entertainment. If they are seen by family members or pets, I am not responsible for the consequences. If they're not meaningful to you, let me know. ENJOY!

“NEXT 10 WORD USAGE MISTAKES IN WRITING: Part II”
Were the Top 10 word blunders in my previous blog helpful? NO!! Oh. Okay, maybe the next 10 may hit the spot. I hope they hit something. Here they are.
NEXT 10 WORD USAGE MISTAKES
10. lose---loose
9. lie---lay
8. I---me---Moi
7. no one---noone
6. peek---peak---pique
5. principal---principle
4. raise---rise
3. than---then
2. there---their---they’re
AND THE NUMBER 1 BLUNDER:
1. whose---who’s
BONUS BLUNDER
your---you’re
That’s my final list. If you pay attention to the preceding word combos when you proof, you should be good shape, blunder-wise, unless you make other mistakes I haven’t seen. You’ve always been kinda sneaky.
HAPPY WRITING!
