Good Monday Morning readers! I came across an article this morning on msn.com about common grammatical mistakes. One that I know I've made before was "stationery" vs. "stationary"...here's what the article said and how to keep them straight.
The kind of stationery you write on has an e--like paper. The sound-alike stationary means "not moving" or "staying on one place." So, if it has an a, it means to "stay."
And since we're on the topic of stationEry, here's the link to a cute stationery store with fun monogrammed notecards, invitations, etc. like the ones below.

My goodness! I've never thought about it, but now I wonder if I've been using it wrong! HAHA!!!
What a great way to remember the difference. I am so horrible with word misusage sometimes so any help is great!
