That's right Jephth, how many people would go too close to a volcano and inhale the particles?
Anyhow back on topic, who has trouble with:
adviser/advisor
"Adviser" is preferred although both are correct.
affect/effect
"To affect" means (1) to influence, change or produce an effect; (2) to like to do, wear or use; or (3) to pretend. "To effect" means to accomplish, complete, cause, make possible or carry out
allusion/illusion
An "allusion" is an indirect reference. An "illusion" is a false impression or image.
disinterested/uninterested
"Disinterested" means impartial. "Uninterested" means someone lacks interest.
I am the first to raise my hand for incorrectly using terms, that mean something else. |
