You're Not the Only One With Spelling Pains

I don’t give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way.-Mark Twain

Mark Twain would not abide spellcheck.

Additional remarks from Mark Twain on the topic of spelling can be found here:
Mark Twain on Spelling

Nevertheless . . . College English demands correct spelling and the correct word.  Watch these common errors in usage:

then/than
affect/effect
their/they're/there
granite/granted
conscientious/conscious
know/now/no
were/we're
where/were
