Let’s face it, English can be a confusing language at times. There are hundreds of confusing words in English: words that are separated by just one or two letters or words that sound exactly alike when you say them out loud but have completely different meanings.
That is why I have created this list of commonly confused words with detailed explanations on all of their uses and differences. I have done my best to make my explanations in everyday English, so that anyone and everyone reading these posts will be able to easily understand.
So pleased to see the list acknowledges that ‘realiZe’ is the British spelling. – somehow realiSe crept into usage and was labelled as British (which I suppose is true because Americans don’t use it) but dictionaries put the ‘z’ as the preferred spelling and was certainly the spelling I was taught in school (back in the mists of time). 🙂

There’s usually a small x top right of pop up ads. (I set up my browser to automatically dismiss them)

Reblogged this on A Writers Existence and commented:
I have wanted to put a list like this together for years but never got around to it. Here is an exhaustive compilation of misused words we all have mistakingly used before.
