Word Confusions Lesson Eleven Visible Speech a short course in the fundamentals of writing / lesson eleven By Joe Napora Symbols Used in This Program Symbol Key: = Advance to next slide = Return to previous slide = Return to the first slide 1 = Go to Part One 2 = Go to Part Two 3 = Go to Part Three 4 = Go to Part Four 5 = Go to Part Five Sound Confusions Most word confusions are due to the fact that many words in English that have different meanings sound the same. Sight / Cite / Site Their / There / They’re To / Too / Two Where / Wear Hear / Here Through / Threw Bare / Bear Your / You’re Sound Confusions Its / It’s This is most common of all word confusions. “Its” is similar to “his” and “hers.” We don’t write “his” like this: “hi’s”; nor do we write “hers” like this: “her’s.” “It’s” means “it is.” Sometimes “it’s” means “it has,” as in “So long, it’s been good to know you.” Sound Confusions We confuse many words because we don’t always pronounce words clearly. We say, “I used to know better,” but we mistakenly write it as “We use to.” And the same goes for “supposed to”; it’s not “suppose to.” More Confusions Some words are spelled differently in advertising than they are in essay writing.
