I mean, it's probably effected your professional relationships for awhile. So take my advise — have someone proofread your report before you submit it to your boss. If you found all four mistakes in the paragraph above, kudos to you! If not, let's talk. Using data from millions of its subscribers, Microsoft recently rounded up a list of the 10 most confusing word pairs in the English language. The data comes from people who use Microsoft Word and/or Outlook, each of which comes with a tool called Editor. Editor highlights spelling and grammar errors and makes suggestions to help improve your writing.

  2. Awhile and a while "Awhile" is an adverb meaning "for a short time" and is used to modify verbs. E.g., She played the piano awhile.

E.g., We tried on each other's dresses.
