I would also add advice and advise. I myself have to read that one over and over again to make sure I get it right!

The one that drives me crazy is when on the news I see them say ‘a honest’ instead of ‘an honest’.

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

The mistake that I see the most is people using the verb contraction “it’s” (that is short for “it is,” when they really mean the possessive “its.”

Now discus censor vs. sensor vs. censer vs. censure.

“May” implies a possibility. “Might” implies far more uncertainty. “You may get drunk if you have two shots in ten minutes” implies a real possibility of drunkenness. “You might get a ticket if you operate a tug boat while drunk” implies a possibility that is far more remote. Someone who says “I may have more wine” could mean he/she doesn't want more wine right now, or that he/she “might” not want any at all. Given the speaker’s indecision on the matter, “might” would be correct.

Also "may" and "might" have a temporal element for their use: "I am staying home in order that you may go out tonight" versus "I stayed home in order that might go out last night."

your right...just kidding.

Just yesterday I read on this forum a long philosophical treatise, in which the author failed to distinguish between “its” and “it’s”. I had to dismiss the entire thing. I doubt he and others like him will ever read this thread. They know better, they excuse themselves silly.

What I hate is when people say “these ones”. It is redundant and incorrect. “These” is already standing in for the noun. You should say simply “I like these” instead.

If you pay attention to the usage fewer & less, you’ll see people get it wrong most of the time. Usually using less when they should be using fewer.
