Spelling words incorrectly while on the job, especially in messages to your boss or students, is a sure way to be embarrassed while you are working. Make 2014 your year to appear more knowledgeable than ever – learn how to spell! It can sometimes be confusing when reading a paper or email that has incorrect spelling or use of possession because even the simplest mistakes can have a great effect on the meaning of a sentence. For example, New Year’s Day is completely different than New Years Day. The first occurs on January 1st of every year and is celebrated all over the world. The latter is what people often use to refer to this day we celebrate, but without the apostrophe indicates it is the day of many new years. Read through the infographic to the right to see a couple of examples of words that are commonly mistaken for others in regards to New Year’s Edition.

ReplyDeleteI am so glad you think so :)
DeleteWhat a cool idea! :) Now I need to think of how to correct my student in both witty and helpful way, because he's always writing "let's meat tomorrow", no matter how many times I pointed this out to him. Maybe employing this funny strategy could help? Any humorous ideas concerning 'meat' and 'meet'? :)
ReplyDeleteI would do a picture of someone throwing a steak in someone's face, "nice to meat you" vs two people shaking hands, "Nice to meet you"
DeleteAs children we were taught to remember you eat mEAT.
Hope that helps!
