Okay I'm not doing this to tick people off or anything like that at all...I'm not the best at spelling myself. But there are a few words that have similar spellings to other words, which are confused a lot! And so I thought I'd post them. Wonder and Wander:To "Wonder" is to think about something. (I wonder what will happen today.) To "Wander" is to move around. (James wanders around the neighborhood looking for his lost watch.) To, To, and Two:The only way to explain these is to use them in sentances. She went to the store. He went to the store, too. Two people went to the store. Those are the only ones that really get me but I'll post more if I see them.

I would like to add in a few:
You're and your: "You're" is the combination of "You" and "Are" "Your" is the word "you" when showing ownership
Past and Passed: "Past" is used when refering to time "Passed" is used when speaking of distance

Thank you! I knew I was forgetting some. I'd like to add 2 more words...
Amused and Bemused: These 2 words DO NOT mean the same thing. Amused: Entertained Bemused: Bewildered (confused; overwhelmed)
