This is cliché and we all know it, okay? Typical rant book, typical grammar rant chapter.
I am going to go over the most common grammar/spelling errors and follow it up with something different: why you should use proper grammar.
Onwards!
Your is possessive. Your cat. Your house. It belongs to you.
You're means you are. You're silly. You're bad at grammar.
Let's put it into a equation:
You're insane = you are insane.
Your insane = the insane that belongs to you.
I'm pretty sure that's not the same, but who knows, I'm delusional.
I realize that most of my readers are well-educated. You is not you, the smart reader, it's YOU as in YOU ALL GET EDUCATED.
Sorry.
Also, they're, their, and there are three different words. I'm not going to get into that.
If you have learned these in school, if your education has reached that level, then yeah, you should take advantage of that. Most Wattpaders, including myself, speak English and have reached that level.
I understand completely that there are younger Wattpad members, and some people on this website

Do you ever want to prove my hypocrisy? Guess what? You can! I write other things. Head over to the account Animalsandjordieblob and read Turn. Shame me for the mistakes and all the things I tell the internet not to do (so long as you leave a compliment for my cowriter, I don't care. She does the odd, chapters, I do the even). Thanks, hopefully.
