1. Practice / Practise
In US English, practice is used as either a verb (doing word), or noun (naming word). Hence, a doctor has a practice, and a person practices the violin. In UK english, practice is a noun, and practise is a verb. A doctor has a practice, but his daughter practises the piano.
4. Its / It’s
As in the case above, the apostrophe denotes an abbreviation: it’s = it is. Its means “belongs to it”. The confusion arises here because we also use an apostrophe in English to denote possession – except in this case; if you want to say “the cat’s bag” you say “its bag” not “it’s bag”. “It’s” always means “it is” or “it has”. “It’s a hot day.” “it’s been fun seeing you.”
8. Chose / Choose
This is actually quite an easy one to remember – in English we generally pronounce ‘oo’ as it is written – such as “moo”. The same rule applies here: choose is pronounced as it is written (with a ‘z’ sound for the ‘s’) – and chose is said like “nose”. Therefore, if you had to choose to visit Timbuktu, chances are you chose to fly there. Chose is the past tense, choose is the present tense.
10. Literally
This one is not only often used in error, it is incredibly annoying when it is used in the wrong way. Literally means “it really happened” – therefore, unless you live on a parallel universe with different rules of physics, you can not say “he literally flew out the door”. Saying someone “flew out the door” is speaking figuratively – you could say “he figuratively flew out the door” but figuratively is generally implied when you describe something impossible. Literally can only be used in the case of facts – for example: he literally exploded after swallowing the grenade. If he did, indeed, swallow the grenade and explode – that last sentence is perfectly correct. It would not be correct to say “she annoyed him and he literally exploded” unless she is Wonder Woman and her anger can cause people to blow up.
When to use me & Myself? Myself is reflexive – it only refers

    Angel Chedikah decided to create an online boutique for her final project. The purpose of her online boutique is to make money so Angel had to design a competitive website. While I was looking at Angel’s website, I realized that her online boutique was very similar to the Forever 21 website. The Forever 21 website clearly targets young people who are in their late teens and early twenties and Chedikah’s online store has the same demographics. One of the best features on Chedikah’s website is the college of different outfits because these pictures advertise her products.…

    Based on the results, the bunchberry plant, with a scientific name of Cornus canadensis, was most frequently seen in station four, the ecotone, and second most in station five, the forest which is most likely in the lower forest since it has a similar environment to that of station four, and third most in station three, the bog. It was not as frequently seen in areas of higher elevation such as the old field. It should be noted that all three locations were very moist which is expected since they receive water from the marsh. Due to its more frequent presence in moist environments, it is predicted that the bunchberry is more adapted to such locations. It is also predicted that sandy soil supports its growth since it was mostly seen in stations four and five which have sandy soil. Within and on the soil, lots of wood could be seen on the ground from remains of trees that were around the bunchberries which lead to a possibility that as the wood remains are buried in the soil, the bunchberry plant is able to use it to build roots.…

    Mexican-American Cesar Chavez was a prominent figure during the civil rights era.

His union soon joined with the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee in its first strike against grape growers in California, and later on the two organizations had merged and become the United Farm Workers.

    In the play Raisin in the Sun by Lorrain Hansberry there are quite a few characters that I can relate to without difficulty. The character I can relate to easily is Walter. Walter is a poor man who dreams big and always wants more for himself and his family. By dreaming big it also makes Walter very selfish and negligent. While he acts this way it causes a lot of pressure on the things that mean the most to him, his family and marriage. Throughout the play Walter, like a lot us in the real world, took his mistakes and learned from them.…
