Behold!



Bear



Bare

Don't use bare when you mean bear! As in "Dean could not bear the guilt. Any guilt. All the guilt. Guilt over all the things." He does not bare the weight of all that guilt.

I mean it. Stop doing that.

Yes, yes!! (and happy to serve! :D )

I still say one of my biggest gripes is when people write/say THAT when it should be WHO.

I'm sure I was guilty of that starting out, but any handy-dandy grammar quick check will tell you that's a no-no. Now when I read it, it feels so uncomfortable, like a shirt two sizes too small.

Whenever I see people make mistakes like that when I'm reading fic, my mind instantly makes the correction as I read. It doesn't prevent the irritation, though. I think too many people either don't know the right way to write/say it, or they're too lazy to make sure. I guess it's understandable in fanfic but when you see professionals doing it, that's WRONG.
