Common Errors in English

Posted by iblawg on October 11, 2006

Good things must be shared, right. Ever had any English-related questions but realized that it’s too late to ask your secondary school English teacher anymore? Introducing Common Errors in English. Before I stumbled upon this site, I relied heavily on sites like Dictionary.com and Merriam-Webster Online. Heck, I even search the exact string on Google and see if other people are writing the same way as I am.

CEE points out common errors and explains them. For example, when using “I/ME/MYSELF”. What are the differences between them? Do you say “Mary and I” or “Mary and me”? Well I must thank Mayling for ‘educating’ me on this, a few weeks ago. Another common confusion is the usage of “GOT/GOTTEN”. So “gotten” is the past participle of “get”, you say. But sometimes either can be used. There’s an explanation for this, and boy was I ‘enlightened’! Check it out!
