“I tend to notice spelling errors more than grammar.”

I used to be quite good at spelling but as I have gotten older I am having a lot of trouble. Especially when it comes to if I should use an a versus an e or an o and vice-versa. I think it is mostly because of the way I pronounce them. Like Cot-tan instead of Cot-ton or un-young instead of onion. Also I tend to run my sentences on and on.

I tutored kids for years with spelling. I notice spelling errors.....not all, but most. The most common error I see is when people use apostrophes incorrectly. I see it so often.....using an apostrophe before an “s” when pluralizing.

funny you should say that-last night I posted on here and I think it was the world’s longest run-on sentence. LOL
