    I can’t stand when people mix up than/then. A close second would be there/their/they’re.

    I admit I sometimes get it’s/its mixed up. And if I’m tired or in a rush and it’s an informal thing, I tend to use your for both your/you’re.

    I am in the process of proofing a 250-page document in pdf format. Just in the beginning, I have already noticed several instances where a sentence ends, but there is no space after the period and the capital letter of the next sentence. Is there a way to perform a generic search to find these missing spaces?

    Should I keep correcting people when they type/write "your" when they mean "you’re" and vice versa? I find it that people screw this up more often than they get it right. I’m not perfect either, but this is a huge pet peeve of mine. Should I give up this fight, or is it worth fighting?

    (Feel free to correct any grammar errors or misspellings I may have made).

        English Grammar – Adjective & Adverb

        In grammar, an adjective is a word whose main syntactic role is to modify a noun or pronoun, giving more information about what the noun or pronoun refers to. Adverbs typically answer 3 questions such as how?, when?, or where? This function is called the adverbial function, and is realized not just by single words (ie, adverbs) but by adverbial phrases and adverbial clauses. Adverbs also describe adjectives, verbs, and other adverbs. In this video, Santha A. Kumar explains about the adjectives and adverbs in English language.
