 * __Errors__**

//Effect or Affect?-// I think that I make this mistake because they are similar and have similar meanings. Effect is a noun and Affect is a verb. I remember this by remebering some example sentences. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/misspelling

//A Lot-// I usually don't put a space between the a and l because i have always thought it was one word. A lot is supposed to have a space in between it and I remember it because when i was in sixth grade, a teacher wrote "alot" an a piece of paper, then tore in two, to show the space. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/misspelling

//Than or Then?-// I don't know the difference between the two. Then is in sequence of two situations. Example- "We went to the zoo, __then__ we went to the aquarium." When using than, it is used to compare to things. Example- "I'm more tired than a sloth." http://theoatmeal.com/comics/misspelling

//Definitely-// I misspell this word all the time, because i always put an "A" in it. It is spelled __D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y__. The way i remember this is by sounding it out but hitting every single letter. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/misspelling

//Good or Well?-// I mix these two words up a lot. __Good__ is considered an adjective and __Well__ is usually an adverb. I remember this because of what sounds proper or right. http://englishplus.com/grammar/00000218.htm
