Do you know the difference between the following sets of words?

  • Alternate and alternative

  • Disinterested and uninterested

  • I.e. and e.g.

  • Lay and lie

  • Peruse, skim, and browse

  • That and which

No shame if not, but you may want to bookmark this link, where Charles Harrington Elster explains how to use each correctly.
