    The Did you know thread ?

    Did you know ?

    To settle the “affect” vs. “effect” dilemma, remember this one word: RAVEN

    • R = Remember
    • A = affect is a
    • V = verb
    • E = effect is a
    • N = noun

    I actually explained ‘RAVEN’ to my clueless coworker and she still didn’t understand. I’ll have to assume some you out there still aren’t quite getting it, either.

    Rainy weather affects (alters) the park activity.
    It’s acting as a verb.

    The positive effects (results) of working out.
    It’s acting as a noun.

    Principle vs. Principal. A principle is a rule, a law, a guideline, or a fact. A principal is the headmaster of a school or a person who's in charge of certain things in a company.

    Principal is a person like your ​pal.

      Stationary*with an a means “fixed in one place and not moving,” like a stationary*bicycle at the gym.

      Stationery*with an e stems from the term*stationer, which refers to “a person who sells the materials used in writing, such as paper, pens, pencils, and ink.
      Women were created from the rib of man to be beside him, not from his head to top him, nor from his feet to be trampled by him, but from under his arm to be protected by him, near to his heart to be loved by him.

        Apples vs oranges....never mind.
        A prayer, is kinda the same as a "Like". If there are enough likes, God will take notice. So "Like" away please. My daughter needs your prayers. Thank You.

            There = PLACE (contains here, a place or STATE OF EXISTENCE)
            She went there or There are 100 senators in Congress or We saw it here and there
            They’re = CONTRACTION they are
            Their = POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVE belonging to them (contains heir, as in the possessor of an
            inheritance): It was their choice
            Theirs = POSSESSIVE PRONOUN belonging to them: The choice was theirs
            Rule: Pronouns that become possessive with an “s” don’t get an apostrophe
            Funny memory trick for theirs = the IRS (Internal Revenue Service)
            We thought our money belonged to us, but actually, the IRS agents thought it was thirs

                If something is "unique", it is the only one. This means that it cannot be very nor really unique. It is either unique or it is not.

                  The slight difference between pronunciation and enunciation is that pronunciation is the act of making sounds or articulating words while enunciation is the way of articulating words clearly and distinctly according to the rules governing the language. Pronounce defines how a word is spoken.

                    Some people call it domestic violence.
                    We call it foreplay.
