    I found a random piece of paper DH had left lying around that had something along the lines of ...

    Good grammar is the difference between knowing your sh-- and knowing you're sh--.

    Bleeped out like that too.  It was weird, but apparently strangely relevant today!

    OP - I love those mugs.  I would like the to/too/two one :-D

    For everyone's reference...affect - verb, effect - noun

    Love it!  I saw a sign at work yesterday that indicated the entrance to the cafeteria was "temporally" closed.  Our maps at work also say that certain conference rooms were "formally known as..."  Ugh.

    For the most part, this is true, except when you are using effect to mean "to cause to come into being." Then, effect can be used as a verb too (i.e. to effect a change in policy.)

    Here on earth our cafeteria is closed, but our heavenly one is open.  (And maybe those conference rooms go by their nicknames most of the time!)  ;)

    in that case effect is the object of the preposition, so not a verb

     No, it's the infinitive form of the verb, not a preposition.  It's like saying "to eat an apple" or "to rock a baby."  An example of a prepositional phrase using     to would be "to the store."

    ETA: 


    Scroll down to the verb definition.

    My favorite is "Let's eat Grandma. vs. Let's eat , Grandma." It was my birthday yesterday and only two people used a comma while directly addressing me (Happy birthday, Nikki). How can I expect my eighth graders to take me seriously that this is important shhhhhhhiznit to know about even though my college educated friends and relatives don't get it right?

    I love "Stop clubbing baby seals!" Vs. "Stop clubbing, baby seals!".
