Let's face it; when we are on the Internet, we could not care less about what we learned back in our student days in terms of the grammar of the English language. However, it appears that some of us never learned key grammatical concepts. As such, I have taken it upon myself to educate this site on the proper usage of the English language. Our first lesson shall be on spelling. To start us off, I will list a few words that are constantly misspelled or are used in place of words that actually exist.

1). Alot-- Alot is not a real word. When you want to describe a large quantity with the word lot, you must separate the a and the lot. If you combine them together... well, just look up "The Alot is Better Than You at Everything."

2). Irregardless-- The word regardless means "without regard." The prefix "Ir-" means "not." Therefore, irregardless means "not without regard."

3). Weird-- Weird is spelled "w-e-i-r-d," not "w-i-e-r-d."

4). Defiantly- Defiantly means "with defiance." An example sentence correctly utilizing defiantly is, "The baby defiantly mowed the lawn." For whatever reason, the baby in this sentence defied the norm and mowed the lawn. Why do I bring up defiantly? Because it is constantly used in place of definitely.

And so concludes our first lesson. Next time, we'll look at the importance of adverbs (or something like that).
