Journal+Common+Mistakes+2

1. Josh v. **Alright/All Right.** Before I read this, I didn't even know there was a difference. I never use **All Right.** I always use **Alright.** I thought it was like the word always. You never say/write all ways, it's said/wrote always. Josh found out that **Alright** is just slang. 2. Elena. **Grey/Gray.** I always get those confused. I have to hesitate before witing it. **Gray** is the correct form. sometimes I have to write both of them to see which one looks more familiar. 3. Natasha. **Can/May.** When we were a little and asked our teachers "Can I please go to the bathroom?" they would respond by saying "I don't know, can you?" Then we would have to ask by saying "May I please go to the bathroom?" By now I don't really get these two confused. 4. Jacky. **Who/Whom.** I never know which one to use so I always write **Who** after reading what Jacky wrote, I still don't know when to use **Who /Whom.** 5.Shane. **A Lot/Alot.** I don't ever get these mixed up any more. Also like the can/may, the difference between the two were taught to me at a very young age.
