Thank you!
Free rein vs. free rein Also, “skiddish” instead of “skittish.” That’s not even a word. This is all over the lost dog posts on Facebook. |

Also, prostate cancer not prostrate cancer.
Just read in an obituary that a man died of prostrate cancer. |

| I know this is mostly in jest/ venting, but I actually find this thread quite helpful. I grew up in the rural south and got a crap education. I studied STEM at a public university and never had to take English at the college level. Even though I’ve thrived professionally and make very good money, my grammar and spelling remain below where I’d like to be. I rarely have imposter syndrome because I am very good at my job, but this is one area that gets me and still makes me feel insecure. |

Decimate means to reduce by 10%. You mean “obliterate” when you use that word to describe annihilation.
Nonplussed means disturbed and confused. It is not a synonym for not bothered. |

This liberal arts major earns $249,00 a year in a Big Four accounting firm doing stuff with words. There is HUGE demand for people who can write well In corporate America. |
