Alright here comes the fun part! (not lol) Commas! I still hate the way OWL words this Quick Comma Guide Sheet because I always have a problem with actually defining parts of a sentence, I have always just known what sounded right or wrong.

I am going to try my best to explain where to use commas, but as mentioned earlier I kind of suck at them. (Ironic huh? ) less

Oh noes! You're going to love the Fairy though! I have three! The only one I would definitely NOT recommend is the Baby Fairy. The free bullet I got with that order is stronger than it! The thing about rpms is the smaller the pendulum (which is what makes the head vibrate), the less power they actually transfer. So, even though the Baby Fairy has 12,500 rpms, it's simply too damn tiny to do any good. less

Last comma example. Ugh these ones are a pain.

5. Use commas to separate three or more words, phrases, or clauses written in a series (IE a list).

The Constitution establishes the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government.

The candidate promised to lower taxes, protect the environment, reduce crime, and end unemployment. less

I have the Fairy wand and I absolutely love it! Works great for deep muscle massage too

I'm not sure how much more time we have but I do want to touch on one last thing: SPELLING!

So many times do I see misspelled words.

Accept, Except

accept = verb meaning to receive or to agree:
He accepted their praise graciously.

except = preposition meaning all but, other than:
Everyone went to the game except Alyson.


Its, It's

its = possessive adjective (possesive form of the
pronoun it):
The crab had an unusual growth on its shell.

it's = contraction for it is or it has (in a verb phrase):
It's still raining; it's been raining for three days. (Pronouns have apostrophes only when two words are being shortened into one.)



Affect, Effect

affect = verb meaning to influence:
Will lack of sleep affect your game?

effect = noun meaning result or consequence:
Will lack of sleep have an effect on your game?

effect = verb meaning to bring about, to accomplish:
Our efforts have effected a major change in university policy.


Their, There, They're

Their = possessive pronoun:
They got their books.

There = that place:
My house is over there.
(This is a place word, and so it contains the word here.)

They're = contraction for they are:
They're making dinner.
(Pronouns have apostrophes only when two words are being shortened into one.)


To, Too, Two

To = preposition, or first part of the infinitive form of a verb:
They went to the lake to swim.

Too = very, also:
I was too tired to continue. I was hungry, too.

Two = the number 2:
Two students scored below passing on the exam.



Your, You're

Your = possessive pronoun:
Your shoes are untied.

You're = contraction for you are:
You're walking around with your shoes untied.
(Pronouns have apostrophes only when two words are being shortened into one.)


And the last one I see commonly misspelled:

discreet or discrete?
If it’s easy to hide, it’s discreet. If it’s something that’s separate or distinct, it’s discrete. A lipstick-shaped vibrator is discreet, while another toy may have two motors that offer discrete vibrations.


The last one was taken from the Editing Guidelines off of Eden. It is a great place to get information about common review errors here on the site! less
