Language Abusers Anonymous

I haven't written anything in this blog for a while now, because I've been too busy with my hobby of reading Harry Potter fanfiction.
So here it is:

...I’m calling to order a meeting of Language Abusers Anonymous.

After reading hundreds of Fanfictions, where the writing is in the least ridiculous, from people who claim to have English has their first language, and who I (who only have English as second language) think they can only know English in idiot-vile.
I have come to the conclusion that you all need a language abuse class.
Let's begin and in easy sentences, remember here are the wrong things to do, with the right words:
  • Prey/Pray: I prey that together we shall find our pray.
  • Council/Counsel: The counsel badly needs your council on this matter!

  • Wonder/Wander: She told him very firmly not to wonder around the castle at night, no matter how much of a sense of wander the ancient structure held for him.
  • Explicit/Implicit: Our explicit trust in each other means I'm not all that bothered by those implicit porn sites he likes to visit.
  • Wary/Weary: I am so wary of you sounding like a broken record. And lately, I've been peeking down corridors before entering, weary of the possibility of you being present.
  • Loose/Lose: Don't let him get lose or we'll loose!
