10 Words You Need To Stop Misspelling

     I have wanted to make a post like this for a very long time, but I didn't want to come off as a bitch, and especially not a crazy one for caring this much about spelling and grammatical errors. I probably care a little too much, but I am a firm believer in if you do not speak your first language in near flawless tongue, you have a serious issue you need to address. If you cannot speak your language, it would be extremely difficult, nearly impossible truthfully, for me to trust you with anything because you've shown me you cannot even be bothered to take the time and put in the extra effort to perfect the skill humans use the most— speech.
     I strongly believe that nothing less than an "A"—whether a perfect "A" or not, no one will always be perfect—grade in your first language is acceptable. If you're not from the United States, an "A" is a perfect grade.
     It's silly, as I've written and re-read this, I am worried there are errors in its structure, and I'm sure there is. I find it really hilarious when you write or speak about correcting someone else, but you yourself are wrong. Oh well, at least it's for a good cause, haha.
