No, not that kind of funk. I mean my English funk! Anyway, what I mean is that there are some mistakes that I see far too often when I read online stories and other people's grammar! GRR! These are just a few of them.
When you're trying to show ownership to "it", it's not "it's"; the correct way is "its". NO APOSTROPHE! Why? Because "it's" mean's "it is", so it can't have a double meaning!
PEOPLE! Learn your freakin' "there, their and they're"'s! It's SIMPLE! I just LOVE it when I see, "The dog was there's."
On a side note, also learn how to use apostrophes! I see people saying "didnt" or "theyre" too many times.
On rare occasions (well, not THAT rare), I see people not using quotation marks. So, it could look like this: He walked up to the bartender. Give me a beer, he said.
Oh, I see, the NARRATOR wants a beer... NO! The narrator most definitely does NOT want a beer!
I hate it when people use hyphens instead of dashes. Rarely do I see peole who know even HOW to use a dash, but a lot of people don't even know how to CREATE a dash. Here is the difference: a hyphen is -, while a dash is —. How do you create a dash? If you type -- in microsoft word, it automatically changes it, or you could do it manually, typing alt+shift+hyphen.
Anyway, I think that's all of it. When it comes to mispellings, that just means it sucks to be you. Profreading is all you can do,
