Have you noticed some of the most common words are easily misspelled or using the wrong word for the sentence. I'm not talking about type-o's
Misspelled
Theater vs Theatre Which one is correct?
Wrong usage:
Been and Being (Difference anyone?)
Man and Men
There and Their
were and where
Brake and Break
At least I know that I always confused these. I hated it because they are easy words, but then I guess my grammar is a bit down.

been is the past tence of going eg.

LOL. This is exactly what I hate, i can spelled big words and on the little ones I get confused.
No, I never mind people correcting me, I have friends who have been to top University's and I always let them correct me, it's my way of learning.
I figure I will not know everything there is and what I don't know someone will and what I know someone won't.
Thanks for responding.
