Friday Fun
Friday the 13th has never been a superstitious day for me. In fact, Friday the 13th of June has been a rather lucky day in the past and today is no exception. How do you feel about Friday the 13th? Does it bring good luck, or bad?
Awhile vs. A while
Awhile: an adverb meaning, for a time. Or literally, for a while.
Example: Go play awhile.
**In this sentence you can swap out the adverb with another, such as: quietly. Go play quietly.
A while: a noun meaning, for a length of time.
Example: Go play for a while.
**In this sentence you can swap out the noun with a length of time, such as: ten minutes. Go play for ten minutes.

My husband found this not too long ago, and if I was one to get a tattoo, these would be fitting for the pair of us. What do you think?
Shutter vs. Shudder
This is a common mistake I am seeing more and more often in books.
Shutter– a blind for a window, or part of a camera
Shudder– to tremble in fear
Therefore, you cannot shutter with dread. You shudder.

Here is a fun way to help you remember the Tuesday Tip from this week.
Compliment vs. Complement
These two words are often confused with one another. Recently, they have been misused often in my reading. So, it became the Tuesday Tip for today.
Compliment: an admiring or flattering remark, praise
Example: Do you blush when you are given a compliment?
Complement: goes well with others, completes
Example: The chocolate sauce complements the cheesecake.
A quick tip to determine if you should use an “i” or an “e”: I like to give compliments.
It’s Summertime…
