There are a lot of words out there.  In fact there are at least a quarter of a million distinct English words -and when you add on inflections, local vocabularies and words that are now obsolete, there are probably closer to three quarters of a million.

Here’s a list of some words that a lot of people get confused; learn them and never make these mistakes again!
