You ever run into words that you know are simple and easy yet you still cannot for the life of you spell or use properly?
Patience
Patients
Ugh! Which one is which again? (I know. Just venting here)
It's one of the most commonly miss-used word not because it is spelled incorrectly, but because one is subbed for another.
And for the life of me I can never get it right.
I'm a bit OCD and I always agonize of the mistakes I make in my writing, especially after sending emails and what not. So of course I am absolutely horrified to see myself constantly making the same mistakes over and over and over, especially when I make them in bad situations.
Imaging my horror to see an email response I sent to a publisher when requesting a status update...
Thank you for indulging my anxiety with an update. I will try and be a little more patient.
OMG did I really mis-use patience?? To a publisher!! I must look like a complete idiot.
*hangs head in shame*
So indulge me a little. Make me feel like I am not the only one out there who can't seem to get certain words right. Please tell me you have made mistakes like this in the past.
