There is a pretty handy site to look for those common errors in English. The list is pretty intensive with a bit of description. So is the author’s definition of an error in English?
The concept of language errors is a fuzzy one. I’ll leave to linguists the technical definitions. Here we’re concerned only with deviations from the standard use of English as judged by sophisticated users such as professional writers, editors, teachers, and literate executives and personnel officers. The aim of this site is to help you avoid low grades, lost employment opportunities, lost business, and titters of amusement at the way you write or speak
And I will take the words start with ‘b’ for an example of the list:
backslash/slash * backward/backwards * barb wire, bob wire * bare/bear * basicly * bazaar/bizarre * beaurocracy * beckon call * begs the question * behaviors * bemuse * beside/besides * better * between * between you and I * beyond the pail * bias/biased * bible * biweekly/semiweekly * blatant * bonafied * born out of * borrow/loan * both/each * boughten * bourgeois * bouyant * brand names * brang, brung * breach/breech * breath/breathe * bring/take * build off of * bumrush * butt naked * by/’bye/buy *
Common Errors in English – [Paul Brians]
















The biggest mistake I see on sites is rule number six. I used to break that rule on some of my sites unintentionally…I didn’t know that rule existed until I happened upon it in a blog somewhere.
6. Label headings as “sponsored links” or “advertisements” only. Other labels are not allowed. I have seen many sites label ads with other titles. Dont make your site a target in a few seconds gaze.
