Top Twenty Specific Problems in Writing

Most Common Mistakes in Writing

Top Twenty Specific Problems

The following links deal
with the twenty most common problems that I have found in grading student
papers. Students will laugh if I mention these problems in class, but almost
every student paper will include at least one of these problems — and I’ve seen
more than a few papers and exams that make over half of these
mistakes.

It’s”
versus “Its .1
. “”

(consistently the #1
problem in student papers)

2. “To,”
“Too,” and “Two

(usually a close
second behind it’s-its)
  • To: Basic multi-purpose
    function word (as in “My goal is to die a
    millionaire”)
  • Too: Adjective, meaning
    “very” or “excessively” (as in “The Tigers were too
    inexperienced to challenge the Yankees for the pennant”)
  • Two: The number between one
    and three (as in “Two losses to open a football season is
    two too many”)
  • See also The UVic Writer’s Guide

3. “Who’s” versus “Whose

  • Who’s: A contraction, meaning
    “who is” (as in “Who’s coming to dinner?”)
  • Whose: A possessive (as in
    “Whose dinner is this?”)

  • Affect (verb): “To influence”
    (as in “President Clinton hoped to affect the outcome of the
    Russian elections”)

    about” (as in “President Clinton hoped to effect a change in
    Russian policies”)

    “result” (as in “Every cause should have at least one
    effect“)
  • Affect (noun): Feeling,
    affection; the conscious subjective aspect of an emotion considered apart from
    bodily changes (pronounced AF-fect; this is probably NOT the word that you mean
    to use in international relations)

5. “There,” “Their,” and “They’re

    discussed, and should not follow a comma (as in “The car that
    is parked in the garage is red”)
  • Which: A nondefining, or
    nonrestrictive, pronoun. “Which” adds some new detail about a specific object
    that has already been mentioned, and should follow a comma (as in “My new car,
    which is red, is parked in the garage”)
  • Who: A personal pronoun.
    “Who” should be used in place of “that” or “which” in discussing a person (as in

    course”)
  • See also The UVic Writer’s Guide
  • See also Jack Lynch’s Grammar and Style Guide

17. “e.g.,” “i.e.,” “etc.,” and “et
al
.”

  • e.g.: “For example,” from the
    Latin “exempli gratia” (as in “Research on the evolution of interstate
    rivalry (e.g., Hensel 1996)…”). See also 
    Jack Lynch’s Grammar and Style Guide
  • i.e.: “That is,” from the
    Latin “id est” (as in “The goal of this web page –
    i.e., improving your writing skills –
    is…”)
  • etc.: “And so forth” / “and
    others of the same kind,” from the Latin “et cetera.” See also the
    UVIC Writer’s Guide
  • et al.: “And others,” from
    the Latin “et alii” [masc.], “et aliae” [fem.], or “et
    alia” [neutral] (as in “Singer, et al., found an important
    difference between the 19th and 20th centuries”).

18. “Now,” “Know,” and “No

  • Now: Refers to the present
    time (as in “What we need now is a good
    rainstorm”)
  • Know: A verb, reflecting
    recognition or understanding (as in “I know everything there is
    to know about this subject”)
  • No: The opposite of yes (as
    in “No, you can’t eat that last
    cookie!”)

19. “Border” versus “Boarder

  • Border: In international
    relations, the line on a map that separates two or more geographic
    units.
  • Boarder: “One who boards,”
    such as someone who is paying for meals and lodging or someone whose job
    involves going aboard seagoing vessels.
  • So the correct international relations term is
    “border,” as in the “Canadian border.” A
    “Canadian boarder” refers to someone from the Great White North who is renting a
    room, rather than a line on a map separating Canada from Minnesota or New
    York.

20. “Block” versus “Bloc

  • Bloc: In international relations, a combination of
    individuals, groups, or countries united by treaty or sharing a common
    purpose.
  • So the correct
    international relations term is “bloc,” as in the “Western
    bloc” and “Soviet bloc” in the Cold War. A
    “Soviet block” would be a small cube of wood with a hammer and sickle or
    pictures of Lenin (making for a very unusual child’s toy

Effective Writing Rules

Effective Writing Rules

Rule 1

Use concrete rather than vague language.
Vague:غامض

Rule 2

Use active voice whenever possible. Active voice means the subject is performing the verb.
Examples:
Active
Barry hit the ball.
Passive:
The ball was hit.
Notice that the responsible party may not even appear when using passive voice.

Rule 3

Avoid overusing there is, there are, it is, it was, and so on.
Example:
There is a case of meningitis that was reported in the newspaper.
Correction:
A case of meningitis was reported in the newspaper.
Even better:
The newspaper reported a case of meningitis. (Active voice)
Example:
It is important to signal before making a left turn.

Signaling before making a left turn is important.
OR
Signaling before a left turn is important.
OR
You should signal before making a left turn.(Active voice)

Rule 4

To avoid confusion, don’t use two negatives to make a positive.
Incorrect:

You should check your spellinggrammar, and punctuation.
Incorrect:
You should check your spelling, grammar, and punctuating.

Rule 6

If you start a sentence with an action, place the actor immediately after or you will have created the infamous dangling modifier.
Incorrect:

Correct:
While walking across the street, she was hit by a bus.
OR
She was hit by a bus while walking across the street.

Place modifiers near the words they modify.
Incorrect:
I have some pound cake Mollie baked in my lunch bag.
Correct:
In my lunch bag, I have some pound cake that Mollie baked.

Rule 8

sentence fragment occurs when you have only a phrase or weak clause but are missing a strong clause.
Example of Sentence Fragment:
After the show ended.
Example of Sentence:
After the show endedwe had coffee
