If you have trouble with any of the words below, today's article should put your ambivalence at rest. 
If you have trouble writing other words (which aren't mentioned here) please list them in the comment section so I can address them at a later date. Failing that, you can check out this Free English Lessons page. We may have already dealt with them there.

Note: these are just short explanations – meant to give you a basic understanding. As you know, there are exceptions in the English language and there’s a lot more to say about the words discussed below.
