3 common mistakes that make you look stupid, and how to fix them

This may not be so pertinent on a message board, but if you keep up bad habits, you may end up making the same mistakes on important assignments or documents.

1. Saying could of, would of, and should of: The contractions for could have, would have, and should have are could've, would've, and should've. (Could of, would of, and should of are never grammatically correct.)

2. Mixing up much and many: Much is used to refer to a quantity of a subject that doesn't have a plural form or where the subject is open-ended, while many refers to subjects which are plural. It's important to note that words like deer and geese, which don't have an S to show their plural form, still use many. (How much water is in the river? They didn't nerf Conqeuror very much.) (How _many _ dragons have they killed? There aren't many deer on Summoner's Rift.)

3. Mixing up its and it's: I'm including this mistake, but not your/you're and their/there/they're, because it's easier to forget since it's directly opposed to a different rule. Its shows ownership. (The dragon had its damage nerfed.) It's is the contraction for it is or it has. (It's a good thing I flashed. It's been a long time since Nidalee was viable.) Remember, its/it's is a special case where the form with the apostrophe is not the form which shows ownership.
