Yasser--you'll regularly find English words pronounced the same, despite different spelling and thus meanings.  The three found in countless forums is-- there ( location, for example)

they're ( they are) and their ( ownership of something.). The spelling  "there" is regularly used for all three, and the other two don't seem to exist much these days.

A US friend has a forum for US students and they always seem to have trouble spelling the word--add (  short for addition ). Without hardly an exception, they always spell it-- ad ( short for advertisement ). A  number of US kids seem to be increasintgly spelling their words phonetically, and must wonder what they're now being taught over there?

It certainly wasn't like that in the '60s.



Hi Paul,

I appreciate your valuable addition Smile you are right Paul, but what should I do to incresing the skills writing, gramer, listening and speaking.

Do you think I'll be on the right track if I learned the English Language in England and is one year enough for me ? Undecided

Haha. Andy,

Be very careful. I am in two minds as to whether you are a Schitzophrenic or not!

Ray.
