re: What two words in the English language do you confuse the most when speaking?

This board screws up gone/went, sale/sell and seen/saw constantly.

Depends, are you feeling good or well…

It’s not polite to answer those types of questions with any more than platitudes.

Polite:
“I’m good. How are you?”

Not polite:
“Despite my best efforts, I feel like the world will be just fine without me, and I am struggling with the decision to continue battling this pendulum swing of emotions from happiness and contentment to sadness and despair, knowing that in a best case scenario, my reward is the pain of physical and mental deterioration and social isolation as an elderly pariah.”

Feel is a verb, so it should be modified by an adverb

Well is an adverb

Good is an adjective (adjectives modify nouns)

These get me the most. I know which to use but still pause for a second

quote:

“He’d better reign that woman in before she wonders off.

---

I’ve herd she’s a lose woman

quote:

---

If someone asks how I’m doing, do I say, “I feel good” or “I feel well?”

---

I can’t stand people who do this:

How are you?

I’m doing good, you?

I’m doing well (said pretentiously)

Makes me roll my eyes

Caregiver and caretaker. Give and take are antonyms as far as I know. They seem synonymous when you add them to the word “care.”

Homophones that I confuse the most are complement and compliment.

quote:

---

I’m not sure I’ve ever met a person who uses nauseous/nauseated correctly

The problem is, when you say “no, you’re nauseated, and the thing that made you nauseated is nauseous” the person who feels like throwing up hates your guts for not reading the room.

I know this from experience
