THEIR
Always used to show possession! That is their home. (not there home.)

Champing/Chomping at the bit
Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Verbs have to agree with their subjects. Proofread carefully to see if you words out. If you reread your work, you can find on rereading a great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing. A writer must not shift your point of view. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction. (Remember, too, a preposition is a terrible word to end a sentence with.) Don't overuse exclamation marks!! Place pronouns as close as possible, especially in long sentences, as of 10 or more words, to their antecedents. Writing carefully, dangling participles must be avoided. If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is. Take the bull by the hand and avoid mixing metaphors. Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky. Everyone should be careful to use a singular pronoun with singular nouns in their writing. Always pick on the correct idiom. The adverb always follows the verb. Last but not least, avoid cliches like the plague; seek viable alternatives.
People who write/say "insure" when they mean "ensure". To ensure something is to take steps to make sure it happens. To insure something is to buy an insurance policy to cover costs or losses in the event something bad happens, despite your best efforts to ensure that it doesn't happen.

Kahmen Grammer adn Useage Airerrs
The use of numbers and dates, specifically, cardinal numbers v. ordinal numbers.
Use always cardinal numbers after a month when writing a date, use ordinal numbers when writing the day before the month.
Hence: Fourth of July
but July 4.
loose/lose
Using commas between two independent clauses (instead of semicolons).
Writing "irregardless."
If anybody has a problem with using sentence fragments, like I did in this post, tough.
Is there a TRASH section this could be placed under?
"Accept," and "except."
They are nearly opposite from one another.
