In other words, when I'm composing my email, what prevents me from erroneously thinking that my mnemonic went like this: He thought it was grate to great the cheese. The most important thing to remember is which words have homophones, a simple glance at an online dictionary can verify if you're using the rite won. (Plus, ewe wood knead a sentence four every pear!) | |
