I have a question, when do you use "awhile" and "a while" because I have no idea what the difference is. PM me please.

I'll PM you as well, but I'd like to post here too since a lot of people mix this up.

"Awhile" means "for a while", hence it's not used with a preposition. Exempli gratia, "Sit with me awhile". Although one could just as well say, "sit with me for a while".

Very nice guide. But I have pretty good grammar. I used to post like instead of "you" I would use "u" and what not. For some reason, I just am picky with my own grammar.

Odd, the only thing from that page I didn't know was that the past tense of "to clothe" could also be "clad". I'm going to start saying that one.

There, their, and they're pisses me off the most. You my friend, prove that there is a God.

EDIT: What is so bad about "I could care less"? People could care less, so they actually care about it a little.
