its vs. it’s its=a possessive pronoun. Examples would be: The puppy played with its toy. The computer and its power supply are for sale. Do you know whether my car needs its own inspection? it’s=contraction of it is. Examples would be: It’s much too hot in July. I think it’s going to rain. I doubt it’s ever going to be the same. Easy reminder: You can replace it’s with it is every time and re-read your sentence for meaning.
there vs. their vs. they’re there=an adverb, in or at that place. There is only one lemon left. There should be an easier way to do this. I hope you don’t go there.
their=a possessive pronoun. Their mansion is beautiful. Their olive trees make me dream of Italy. Their baby cries a lot. they’re=contraction of they are. They’re simply stunning. They’re going to perform for us. Don’t act as if they’re here already! Easy reminder: You can replace they’re with they are every time and re-read your sentence for meaning.
lose vs. loose lose=a verb, to come to be without something; to suffer the loss of something. I do not wish to lose more weight. I was about to lose my ear ring. She cannot stand the thought of losing him. loose=an adjective, free or released from attachment; not bound together; not strict. My belt is very loose around my waist. She
likes to wear her hair loose and free. That is a loose interpretation of our document. Easy reminder= Lose has come to be without its extra “o”!!!
whose vs. who’s whose=possessive form of who. Whose plans are these? Whose money did he take? Do you know whose boat we saw the other day? who’s=a contraction for who is. Who’s going to clean all this mess? She was wondering who’s going to dance with her. Do we need to tell them who’s going to be there? Easy reminder: You can replace who’s with who is every time and see if it makes sense.
your vs. you’re your=possessive pronoun. Your job is very exciting. I wish I were in your shoes. Did you tell me your secret yet? you’re=contraction for you are. You’re going to amaze them with your performance. I want you to know how much you’re delivering for us. Perhaps you’re about to get started? Easy reminder: You can replace you’re with you are every time and see if it makes sense.
write and right write=verb, to express in writing. I want to learn how to write well. Did you write this? Write a letter to Mom
right=adjective, correct, justified, suitable, opposite of left. The little boy knew right versus wrong. It’s the right way to do things. I meant to write this for you right away.
me vs. I The best explanation for this rule is here; nonetheless here is a simple explanation: I=subject. Me=object. Which one to use when? Let’s learn by example: 1. This would be wrong: They are going to send my wife and I a package. Why? The rule is that the sentence should make sense if you remove the person and preceding the I. So in our case: They are going to send I a package. This is obviously wrong. It should be: They are going to send me a package. 2. This would be wrong: Jim and me are going to the beach. Why? Remove Jim and. In this case, also adjust the verb to match single form of first person. Then re-read the sentence: Me am going to the beach. This is also obviously wrong. It should be: Jim and I are going to the beach. 3. This would be wrong: The best one is sent to Ashley and I. Easy way to remember this is that I does not follow a verb. I should always make sense if it is followed by a verb. Correct form would be The best one is sent to Ashley and me.
I am rather pleased to learn that my favorite phrase, “it is she“, upon answering the phone has formal correctness on its side but is rather antiquated
effect and affect effect=noun, produced by a cause; a result. The effect of your leadership is visible here. The rules are in effect as of today. What if the change has no effect? affect=verb, to act on; to produce a chance. She affected all of us with her speech. The cold weather affected my plants last night. I let the movie affect me deeply.
the apostrophe disaster for plural form The most common error is to put apostrophe where apostrophe has no business. When you form a plural for nouns, there is no need whatsoever to add an apostrophe. These are all wrong forms of plural nouns = Cat’s, Dog’s, Lot’s (not even a word), ABC’s, Plural forms in most cases are made by simply adding an ‘s’ to the singular form = Cats, Dogs, lots, ABCs. Even though the use of apostrophe before an S in an acronym is almost universal when you make it plural, it is still incorrect.
accept vs. except accept=verb, to take or receive. I accept the challenge. They accepted the generous gift. Why not accept our flaws and still love ourselves? except=preposition, excluding, save, but. So it will never follow a subject such as I, they, we. Everyone except me decided to go. Do anything you can to please her except calling her. Except for her attitude, I think she is ideal.
gone vs. went “Went” is the past tense of the verb to go whereas “gone” is the past participle. Use them correctly. Correct: I went to the store. I should have gone to the open market instead. Incorrect: I should’ve went somewhere!
ending
sentences
with
preposition It has also become common to use prepositions inappropriately or to end phrases and questions with prepositions. Examples of some prepositions: at, of, with, in. Wrong: Where are we at with our plans? Where is the movie theater at? Correct: Where are we with our plans? Where is the movie theater? When asking about the location of a place, “at” should not be used after “where.” Note: Don’t confuse phrasal verbs which make up a huge category in English language and are best described here. For instance, a preposition always is used in the phrase “to hang out” (where did you want to hang out?)
and the verb wouldn’t make sense without this preposition.
the dangling participle The dangling participle can seriously change the flow and meaning of your writing. It is important to make sure we qualify the intended words. Examples: Misinterpreted: Cooking on the stove, she decided it was time to turn the vegetables. It sounds as though she was being cooked on the stove herself. Better: She decided it was time to turn the vegetables which were cooking on the stove. Misinterpreted: Sunburned and dehydrated, mom decided it was time for the children to go into the house. It sounds as though the Mom is sunburned and dehydrated. Better: Mom decided it was time for the children, who were sunburned and dehydrated, to go into the house.
could of vs. could have This is very simple. I’m afraid “could of” is not even a phrase. It is often misused perhaps because it is phonetically so close to “could have”
here vs. hear here=adverb, in this place; in this spot. I am here and planning to stay. I wish you were here. It is here in this place that we met. hear=verb, to be within earshot; to perceive by ear. I hear you. We do not want to hear the policies one more time. If only she heard what he had to say! Easy reminder: Here is There with a preceding T and the two are almost opposites so think of them in a pair.
irregardless vs. regardless This is very simple also. I’m afraid “irregardless” has never and will never be a valid word. It is completely made up. It’s not going to join the ranks of words regardless of what we do!
then vs. than then=adverb, at the time; immediately or soon afterward. I will eat; then I will go. He shall see you then. If you want to be there by then, you had better hurry. than=used after comparative adjectives. He is taller than she is. I wonder how much more than this I can pay. Will you please speak louder than them?
I wonder if I could have majored in English.
to vs. too vs. two to=preposition. If you want me to do this, I will. You should be prepared to go.
too=adverb, also. They want to perform too. She too has one. So will they see you too? two=noun, one plus one. I want you two to decide amongst yourselves. If only the two of them could see you. How long before you two grow up?
were vs. where vs. we’re were=past tense of verb to be. If I were a rich girl, I would live in Italy. You were happier then. I think they were going to stay.
where=adverb, in or at what place. Where were you last night? Where can we go from here? Where in this world did my dog disappear? we’re=contraction of we are. We’re going to be famous. We’re not there yet. We’re about to make a huge difference. Taken from http://www.prolificliving.com/19-errorsto-avoid-in-your-use-of-the-english-language/.

a little about
Etiquette
E
tiquette shows that you are professional and mature – characteristics you must have to be successful in the professional world. Think about where you are in your education right now and what you hope to gain by being a member of President’s Select. Etiquette shows that you have made transition from student to healthcare professional. It is impressive to the people you will encounter as a member of President’s Select. And YOU ARE TRYING to IMPRESS. You are an ambassador for Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.
Dining Etiquette The first thing you should do when you sit down is to put your napkin in your lap. Do not flap it to unfold it, and do not tuck it in your shirt. If you are offered a black napkin, it is likely because you have on black slacks. White napkins can cause white link to transfer to your dark pants or skirt. Excuse yourself from the table if you need to go to the restroom to blow your nose, get something out of your teeth, apply chapstick, etc. When you excuse yourself from the table, loosely fold your napkin and leave it in your chair. At the end of the meal, loosely
fold your napkin and leave it on the table. Do not ever place your napkin on your plate. If you are in doubt as to what you should order, take cues from the host. You do not want to be the only person at the table to order an appetizer, salad, soup, dessert or alcohol. Do not order the most expensive entrée, and avoid ordering messy or hard-toeat foods. Wait for everyone to be served before beginning to eat. If someone who has not been served encourages you to eat, however, you may do so.
can forgo bread or water for the meal. Remember, etiquette is about making others feel comfortable.
Your bread plate will be to the top left of your place setting, and your beverage glass(es) will be to the top right. If you need to cheat, just remember the BMW method or the “ok” hand method. See box for details. If you inadvertently use the wrong bread plate or water glass, do not fret. Simply say, “Oh, I’m sorry. Let me ask them to bring you another glass or plate.” If your neighbor uses your bread plate or water glass, do not say anything about it to them. You may either ask the wait staff to bring you another one or you
If you take a piece of bread, put it on your bread plate. If you would like butter, take it from the community butter dish with your butter knife and put it on your bread plate first before buttering your bread. Tear off one bite of bread at a time and separately butter each piece of bread that you tear off. If you do not have a butter knife, use the knife you do have. If you do not have a bread plate, place your bread on the upper left portion of your main plate. When eating soup, the rule is to spoon away from you. If your soup is served in a cup or round bowl with an under plate, rest your soup spoon on the under plate between sips and when you are finished. If your soup is served in a wide open bowl with no under plate, place your soup spoon in the bowl between sips and when you are finished.
Think BMW or “OK” W
B M
Never chew or talk with your mouth open. Cut only one or two pieces of food at a time. Be careful with dips and sauces, as they can easily drip and soil your clothing. Do not season your food before you have tasted it. It is very rude to check your phone for texts, emails or phone calls during a meal. If you have an emergency situation and must monitor your phone, briefly give the host an explanation before the meal begins. When passing a breadbasket, salad dressing or salt and pepper, pass it to the right. Always pass the salt and pepper together. When passing something with a handle, like creamer, pass it with the handle pointing toward the recipient. Monitor your posture during the meal. Sitting up straight makes a good impression. When you have finished eating, rest your utensils diagonally across the plate. Do not push away or stack your dishes. Be certain to thank your host before leaving and, if appropriate, send a personal thank you note within the next few days.
Event Etiquette Your nametag goes on your right side. If you are asked to make your own nametag, print your name clearly and large enough for others to read. For all President’s Select events, please wear your President’s Select nametag. Always rsvp to events. Hosts ask for rsvps because they are necessary to determine the
appropriate event space, staffing, and amount of food and beverages necessary. Always arrive to events on time. If you are unavoidably delayed, try to contact the host. When you walk into a room, walk with purpose. First impressions are made within 5 seconds of meeting someone. Words only account for 7% of a first impression. Vocal quality accounts for another 38%. An incredible 55% of any first impression is based on non-verbal perceptions of appearance and behavior. Hold your drink or food in your left hand so your right hand is free for shaking hands. When meeting someone, rise if you are seated, smile, extend your hand and repeat the other person’s name in your greeting. Your handshake should be firm and held for several seconds. When introducing people, you should introduce a younger person to Monitor your an older person; alcohol introduce a nonofficial person to an consumption! official person; and in business introduce the junior to the senior. Be sure to explain who people are and use their full names. Do not assume that everyone wants to be called by his or her first name. Rather, you should wait until you are told to use a first name. Do not smoke or chew gum at an event. Ever.
