| Grammar: Peek, Peak, and Pique and more sound-alike words |
|
By Jan K
The English language is full of words that sound alike, and mean completely different things. You can really ruin a well-written text by using the wrong word. People will remember that wrong word and totally forget that the rest of the piece was well done.It isn't all that hard to use the wrong word, especially when you aren't even
aware that there is another word, spelled differently, that sounds exactly the same.

| Grammar: How To Reset Spellchecker to Recheck Your Text |
|
Author:Jan K
After you have written a text and run spellcheck, you might find it necessary to go back and revise the document. You might also have found that you have been running spellcheck, your brain has gotten a little numb, and you can't remember if you actually fixed the last error or just "Ignore" automatically. You'll need to re-set your spellchecker so that it will recheck the entire document, not just new text that is added.

OK, the grammar rules indicate that by putting an "ly" ending on a word, you can transform that word into an adjective that modifies the following subject so that it is "like" the root word of the adjective.
