Of all the words in the english language, sentance vs sentence is the one I
most commonly misspell. I don't know why I misspell that word, except that
I've been doing it for quite some time. It might have to do with a
distinction made in queen's english or something, sentence being a structure
of words, sentance being a jail term, so both spellings might be english,
but I might have simply been mistaken. However, since we're in america,
I'll just take it as "wrong" and move on.

My most common grammatical error is possessive vs contractive use of an
apostrophe where it does not require it, as in "its" vs "it's". "it's" is,
of course, the contraction of "it is", and "its" indicates possesiveness, as
in "its stuff", whatever it refers to in regard to the stuff. I'll often
say "it's stuff", incorrectly.

Since I am willing to admit these two errors as ones that I commonly make,
I'd appreciate it if those specific mistakes weren't used against me.

I will not admit to ever being 100% completely accurate 100% of the time
with regard to grammar and spelling, but I can say this much: I'm a hell of
a lot better at that sort of thing than the vast majority of the tards who
post on usenet.
