اخطاء شائعة بحرف ال " s " 1- specially vs especially In most contexts “specially” is more common than “especially,” but when you mean “particularly” “especially” works better: “I am not especially excited about inheriting my grandmother’s neurotic Siamese cat.” “Especial” in the place of “special” is very formal and rather old-fashioned. 2- suffer with or suffer from Although technical medical usage sometimes differs, in normal speech we say that a person suffers from a disease rather than suffering with it. 3- sometime or some time Let's get together sometime."

"Some time" is not wrong in this sort of context, but it is required when being more specific: "Choose some time that fits in your schedule." "Some" is an adjective here modifying "time."

UNCONSCIENCE vs UNCONSCIOUS
Do people confuse the unconscious with conscience because the stuff fermenting in one’s unconscious is often stuff that bothers one’s conscience? Whatever the cause, there is no such word as “unconscience.” And while we’re on the subject, Freudian psychology does not use “subconscious” which implies something that is merely not consciously thought of, rather than something that is suppressed though it is used by Jungians.
2-
UNDOUBTABLY vs UNDOUBTEDLY
Doubtless the spelling of “presumably” influences the misspelling “undoubtably.” The word is “undoubtedly.” When something is undoubtedly true, it is undoubted.
3-
use to vs used to
Because the D and the T are blended into a single consonant when this phrase is pronounced, many writers are unaware that the D is even present and omit it in writing.

السلام عليكم .. اليوم اللقاء مع اخطاء شائعة بحرف ال " w "
whereabouts is or whereabouts are
Despite the deceptive S on the end of the word, “whereabouts” is normally singular, not plural. “The whereabouts of the stolen diamond is unknown.” Only if you were simultaneously referring to two or more persons having separate whereabouts would the word be plural, and you are quite unlikely to want to do so.
whether or whether or not
“Whether” works fine on its own in most contexts: “I wonder whether I forgot to turn off the stove?” But when you mean “regardless of whether” it has to be followed by “or not” somewhere in the sentence: “We need to leave for the airport in five minutes whether you’ve found your teddy bear or not.”
WARRANTEE/WARRANTY
Confused by the spelling of “guarantee,” people often misspell the related word “warrantee” rather than the correct “warranty.” “Warrantee” is a rare legal term that means “the person to whom a warrant is made.” Although “guarantee” can be a verb (“we guarantee your satisfaction”), “warranty” is not. The rarely used verb form is “to warrant.”
ways or way
In some dialects it’s common to say “you’ve got a ways to go before you’ve saved enough to buy a Miata,” but in standard English it’s “a way to go.”

لنا لقاء اليوم مع آخر أخطاء شائعة بحرف ال " w ". في بداية الموضوع لم اذكر مرجع الموضوع وهو كتاب رائع اسمه:
" Common Errors in English Usage " للكاتب Paul Brians
1- yoke vs yalk
The yellow center of an egg is its yolk. The link that holds two oxen together is a yoke; they are yoked
2-
YOU CAN’T HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO or
YOU CAN’T EAT YOUR CAKE AND HAVE IT TOO
The original and only sensible version of this saying is “You can’t eat your cake and have it too,” meaning that if you eat your cake you won’t have it any more. People get confused because we use the expression “have some cake” to mean ”eat some cake,” and they therefore misunderstand what “have” means in this expression.
3-
your and you're
You’re” is always a contraction of “you are.” If you’ve written “you’re,” try substituting “you are.” If it doesn’t work, the word you want is “your.” Your writing will improve if you’re careful about this.
