Common Errors
Why use this site?
The Common Errors in English web page is a great resource when you are unsure about grammar, spelling, and usage in the English language.

Who created this site?
This website was designed by Paul Brians, a professor of English at Washington State University and in this site he addresses the most common mistakes in grammar, spelling, and usage.

Why is this a good site?
Professor Brians and his Common Errors in English web page will help you navigate your way through unknown waters of the English Language so that when you are writing a paper, you can have an answer (even when you are finishing your paper at 2 AM the night before it is due).

What I should NOT expect from this site?
Professor Brians does not, however, aim to teach grammar.

In conclusion, the Common Errors in English web page will help you understand why common usage of the English language is the way it is and clear some of the muck in your head about how to properly use English in a formal writing document. Use this as much as possible in order to reduce the amount of point-eating mistakes.
