"The meaning of things doesn't lie in the things themselves..."
Why the former one is correct?

Boy it drives me nuts! People say, I need to loose weight. It is not correct! I need to lose weight, is correct. I see this over and over again in all sorts of message board postings. Just a pet peeve. What's your pet peeve?

'ASK' as 'ARKS'?
I first noticed this a long time ago, but it seems to be even more prevalent now. Even some TV presenters/reporters have said it.
Why have they never been corrected by their teachers/parents/mployers?

It really irritates me!

i heard that riders on horseback would be sent to deliver/announce news all across Britian whenever something important happened to the royalty, but that assassins often tried to kill the rider. is this really where the phrase comes from?

Can anyone make up a sentence using both "wholly" and "presence"? And include context clues to what the words mean.

I have read through quite a few yahoo answers on this, but I am still confused.

A coworker and I are having a debate on affects vs. effects.

I wrote:

"The electronics have averaging in hardware to reduce the affects of vibration."

He claims this is not correct because reduce is a verb and therefore effects should be used.

Which word is correct, affects or effects?
