Should of vs. Should’ve
If there is one thing in the last several years that has proven to me that people would rather type phonetically rather than use a dictionary, it’s Facebook. One of the most common phonetic spellings I’ve seen is the phrase “should of”. Or, for that matter, “could of”, “would of”, etc.
Difference between bemused and amused
Every once in a while, I come across someone using a word in a way that makes me think they think it means something else. One of those words is “bemused”.
More than me vs. more than I
I heard our 13-year-old son say something today that ended with the phrase “than me” (as in, he is taller than me or she is smarter than me). It reminded me of a debate that I thought I’d touch on briefly today. Grammarians have been arguing for years on whether “than” always operates as a… Continue reading More than me vs. more than I

I was going through my site analytics today, and thought I’d check out what writing articles have been the most popular. After seeing a few surprises (#1 in the list below is more popular than even my home page), I thought I’d share the 10 most popular writing articles here on the Hot Pepper Blog.

“Between” and “among” are two commonly confused words, but remembering the difference is fairly straightforward.
Difference between “an” and “and”
The following is a reader submission. I received this request form a regular reader last week: Hey Kim, I have a friend on Facebook. He and his daughter use the word “an” instead of “and”. I assume it’s lack of education because I know their background. I feel embarrassed for both of them when they… Continue reading Difference between “an” and “and”
Difference between loose and lose
“Lose” is a verb. It means to misplace something or to not win something. I better not lose my car keys again. I predict that the Hurricanes will lose their last hockey game. “Loose” is an adjective and means something that isn’t tight or it’s free from constraint. My pants are too loose. Lethbridge roads are… Continue reading Difference between loose and lose
Difference between than and then
Here’s another difference between post. These are some of the most popular content on my blog. It’s fairly common for even native English speakers to confuse “than” and “then”. The difference is stark and easy to remember. “Then” is always used in reference to a sequence of events, as in: We went to the store, then we… Continue reading Difference between than and then
