Winner: Grammar Mistakes

Thank you, puzzlemaker, mukunda22, Beverly Owens, Drifter 0658, Susan, and Moe for responding to the Question Of The Week!

This week, our winner is... mukunda22. ...Congratulations!

Kate's response to the QOTW (What are the most common grammatical errors that you see lensmasters making?):

Top 10 Grammatical errors--

1) General spelling errors
2) missing comma after an introductory statement
3) vague pronoun references
4) confusing a wrong word--affect vs effect, for example
5) missing or misplaced possessive apostrophe
6) Shifting tense wrongly--this is why it's good to read aloud what it is that you've written
7) wrong tense or verb form
8) missing comma in a series
9) lack of agreement between pronoun and antecedent
10 its/it's confusion-- My tractor is lying on its side in a ditch. It's going to be towed very soon to the garage for repair.

I've seen them all but not not everyday! I know, I know: I should have been a grammer teacher.

Here are all of Kate's lenses as of today:
Thank you again, Kate, puzzlemaker, Beverly, Drifter, and Susan :)
