Oh, and one last thing (for today anyway) on English:

an apostrophe is generally used for a contraction or a possessive, not a
plural

e.g. 

we're - 'we are'
Ben's - something belonging to Ben

drink's - something belonging to a drink
drinks - more than one drink

-Ben
ok, I'll stop now, got work to do...

If we're going to do spelling and grammar, here is my list.

Sight - the basic sense that uses the eyes
Site - a location (on the web or somewhere)

Right - opposite of wrong
Write - What writers do
Rite - A Ritual or Ceremony

There - as in 'over there'
Their - possessive as in 'their house'
They're - contraction for they are

You're - contraction for you are
Yours - possessive pronoun - his, hers, mine, yours

loose - opposite of tight
lose - opposite of win

ad hominem NOT ad homonym from
argumentum ad hominem -  Attacking the Person
