Words can be fun, but some words can be confusing. Ever see or hear words that people have never figured out? Have words that still confuse you? I do.
Idea or ideal?
Accept or Except?
Sale or sell?
Affect or effect?
When I watch videos or see posts, I see that some people have never figured out which is which. For me, I use affect, when many people use effect.
If something comes up in my mind for something to do, it is an idea, but to many people, it is an ideal!
If I have something that I no longer want, I list it for sale. But many people list it for sell. I will list it for sale, and sell it to the first interested person.
I can actually post videos or conversation snips where people are confused. I do not want to be a troll or a Karen and correct people, but I do not mind being corrected.
