Let'
face it, English can be confusing. A lot of words are similar but with different meanings, as a result it is almost impossible to avoid making mistakes in English, but if you can get your head around these explanations, you might be able to avoid making these ones or at least recognise them when you see them
19:59 ]
accept vs except
Accept is a verb, which means to agree to take something .
For example: "I always accept good advice."
Except is usually used as a preposition or conjunction, which means not including.

- except is usually a preposition and accept a verb. In rare circumstances except can be used as a verb.
For example: On a road sign: "No entry, buses excepted."

of course vs off course
Of course is an informal way of saying 'yes' or to give someone permission to do something.
For example:-
Student: Can I have some extra homework?
Me: Of course you can.
Off course is used when a vehicle doesn't follow a planned, or intended, route.
For example:-
Tapes recovered from the airliner's cockpit voice recorder indicate that the crew were unaware that they were off course and violating Soviet airspace.
loose vs lose
loose
If something is loose, it's not attached very securely to anything. Be sure the horse trailer attached to your truck isn't loose, or it might just roll away on its own while you're on the highway.
lose
The verb to lose means something has gone missing. Maybe it's your car keys. Maybe it's points in a game. Maybe weight which is a good thing by the way .
bazaar vs bizarre
bazaar
A bazaar is a market that has rows and rows of little shops selling miscellaneous stuff — like tube socks, velvet paintings, and corn on the cob.
bizarre
A person, object, or situation that's bizarre is very odd or unusual in appearance, style, or character. If your teacher walked into class wearing a purple boa, cat's eyes glasses and three inch heels, you might comment, "How bizarre!"
personal vs personnel
personal
When something's personal, it's all about you. A personal decision is one you make on your own and it’s probably about something that concerns you, too. Your personal possessions are things that belong to you.
personnel
Personnel is a noun describing a group of people who follow orders, usually at a company. If you have a job, you’re probably considered personnel to be managed.
farther vs further
farther
Farther means a greater distance away. You thought you'd be able to hit that can with a rock, but it fell short, so you'll have to try throwing it farther.
further
If you ask your parents for money, they might say they need to think about it further and then ask you lots of questions. Further refers to figurative distance, like a thought you need more time on.
specially vs especially
especially
Especially describes something that can be singled out as better or more than. An especially tall building is extremely tall.
specially
Specially means "for a special purpose." If you walk into a room that's been specially decorated for birthday , there is probably a lot of balloons
