Hello lovelies! Let's talk about shoes. Personally, I used to love wearing high heels and platforms, because they make us look oh so fabulous! Then I realized: Listen, I'm not going to the Academy Awards. I'm not hanging out with Sarah Jessica Parker (not yet), what's the point of all that pain and blisters? Plus, … Continue reading Heels vs Heals
Hello, Fairy fans! As I enjoy a fabulous lunch of black beans, kale, green olives, and Gardein's crispy tenders, I started wondering about common grammar mistakes due to homophones. While there are many examples (and I'll probably discuss each of them at some point), today we're covering the differences between peek, peak, and pique. Because … Continue reading Peek, Peak, and Pique
Hello, my lovely munchinks! It's been such a long time since I last blogged, I was a bit concerned about not remembering my user name and password! The reasons for my hiatus were hurricanes Irma and hurricane Maria. This is because even though I'm a fairy from Fairyland, I am also from Puerto Rico (fairies … Continue reading Colombia vs. Columbia
Hello, friendly people of the world! I don't have anything witty to tell you about this morning; although I did get a new kind of glitter to sprinkle all over the world as I tweedle and hover around the starry night sky, so that's exciting! But I digress. Let's stay on topic: Today, we're discussing … Continue reading Who’s vs. Whose
Hello, my little darlings, Once again, it's lunch time at my day job, which can only mean one thing: It's time for this Fairy Godwriter to blog! Today, we are going to review the subtle differences between well vs. good; because sometimes, when I'm fluttering over our vast universe, I'll hear someone use the incorrect … Continue reading Good vs. Well
Ciao, miei amici! Rumor has it that a fairy godwriter is dabbling with learning Italian, because, why ever not? Sono una persona curiosa e amo l'Italia! Anyway, let's get back on track. So there's this good friend of mine who's a huge Audrey Hepburn fan, who suggested I address the differences between the words "advice" … Continue reading Advice vs. Advise
Hello my little darlings! When I originally started this blog, I wanted to address mainly common mistakes that irritate me (such as not knowing the difference between "your" and "you're", because... COME ON!) Yet, as I've received feedback from my lovely readers, I've realized that: (a) there are certain mistakes I should be more understanding … Continue reading Bring vs. Take
Good day, my precious wonders! As I savor my delicious spinach pasta with cherry tomatoes and nutritional yeast, I started reminiscing about comments my fabulous readers have left on The Fairy Godwriter Facebook page. One of them, a dapper gentleman by the name of John, asked for clarification on the usage of "eager" and "anxious". And because … Continue reading Eager vs. Anxious
Hello, little darlings! After a brief hiatus on my usual grammar rants, I have decided it's time to post again. So here I am, to tell you about a very common mistake: Using "fewer" and "less" interchangeably. This one's actually very understandable, since when we think of "fewer," we think of "less". So if you … Continue reading Less vs. Fewer
Greetings, delightful lovers of knowledge! Have you ever been to Washington, DC? Cherry blossoms, the Lincoln Memorial, the White House (if only President Fitzgerald Grant, or the wonderful Mellie Grant were in that Oval Office right now!) Our nation's CAPITAL is also home to the CAPITOL building. Fascinating, isn't it? So here you go, my little darlings: … Continue reading Capital vs. Capitol
