Hi all, I am a long-time reader of DWT, but a new forum member. I am especially enjoying reading these threads about common misspellings and vocab mixups.

I just did a post on my blog last week about the top 3 homonym groups people mix up (and my tips to avoid doing so), (http://smithereensblog.blogspot.com/2008/06/writing-wrongs-3-common-homonym-groups.html) namely there/their/they're, it's/its and to/too/two.

I would love to know what you guys think. Do you encounter these errors a lot as well? Any tricks you can add to the ones I gave in the article? Thanks in advance!

Hey Daniel, yes those are definitely some of the most common misspellings.

I would add to that list your and you're.
