As an editor, the mistake that gets me is "its" and "it's", which about 95% of people get wrong.

/----/ Never use a preposition to end a sentence with.I literally die inside when I read some peoples grammar.
/----/ I self-publish books and found Grammarly helped me in eliminating common mistakes. I no longer confuse its and it's.As an editor, the mistake that gets me is "its" and "it's", which about 95% of people get wrong.
/----/ How about using "myself" to begin a sentence as in, "Myself and my friend went out for a beer."I like hate when people like say like all the time.
And I can't stand when people use I as an object as in, My friend invited my wife and I to dinner. It's my wife and ME me not I
I could care less about --- irregardless.Irregardless.....
That one kills me.
I had to learn it the hard way, about three decades before Grammarly existed./----/ I self-publish books and found Grammarly helped me in eliminating common mistakes. I no longer confuse its and it's.
My wife and myself both hate that!I like hate when people like say like all the time.

Is that BASIC?I do it in this one.
$COMPILE EXE
DEFINT a-z
clp$ = COMMAND$

PRINT "USAGE:"
PRINT "PHONLTR + The letters or words comprising the phone number."

END
END IF
strlen% = LEN(clp$)
IF LEFT$(clp$,1) = "1" THEN clp$ = RIGHT$(clp$,strlen%-1)

letter$ = MID$(clp$,j%,1)
get_number letter$

Dont u meen hole?That’s a whole different set of questions!
Sort of. It's a compiler called power basic. I used it to write the software i used at my shop. 40,000 lines of code. Took a while. They have a website and offer a Windows version along with a dos version along with many other products.Is that BASIC?
I haven't seen that in decades.
I like hate when people like say like all the time.

I thought I recognized it. I use C# and TSQL pretty much exclusively.Sort of. It's a compiler called power basic. I used it to write the software i used at my shop. 40,000 lines of code.
