These errors are very common with
people on social media and it speaks a
lot about one’s understanding of English
language. It also reveals how lazy, careless and
negligent one can be. Correcting this
error in 2016 is actually a step on the
right path. The first one is using the word “common”
instead of “come on”. These 2 words
mean 2 different things and shouldn’t be
used interchangeably. Common means occurring, found, or
done often; prevalent. or could mean
showing a lack of taste and refinement;
vulgar. while “come on” is a phrase that
could mean hurry up, buckle up, start… I
guess you get the drill The 2nd is using “loose” instead of “lose”.
I see a lot of people use “loose” when
they want to refer to a team being
defeated. It is wrong. The right word to
use when your team is defeated is “lose”,
while to untie something or make free of something is “loose” The 3rd is using the word “your” instead
of “you’re”. Your is possessive. It is used
when referring to a second person’s
attribute or possession i.e belonging to or
associated with any person in general.
For example “That is your bag” while You’re is the same as “you are” and it is
referring to a second person. An example
is “You’re very good at playing soccer”. I hope we will start making efforts not to
make this common mistakes in 2016.
Happy New Year again everyone. I
