New post: Everyday vs. Every Day
There are some words we see every day that are sometimes used closed and sometimes open — like everyday and every day. When do we use which of these? In short, we do an everyday thing every day.

New post: Assure vs. Ensure vs. Insure vs. Secure

New post: Compliment vs. Complement

New post: Palet vs. Pallet vs. Palate vs. Palette
Today, I have a four-way confusable: palet, pallet, palate, and palette all mean different things, and they’re easily typoed into each other. This post has some notes on picking the right spelling.

New post: The words “premise” and “premises” are often confused, especially in the phrase “on premises.” Part of that confusion, I think, is that “premises” is the plural of “premise,” but it also has a different meaning that’s only seen in the plural form.
