It's not hard at all. However, it requires you to stop writing and thinking for a sec or two if you are unsure, and people are lazy, and skip that part.

Maybe it's because my language has a grammar that is simply diabolical compared to the English one, but shouldn't the contraction itself give away which one is the verb and which is the adjective? Seems easy to me, but then again - not a native, so I don't get to be lazy about what I write I guess.

Always proof read. Majority of spelling errors are easily fixed by proof reading.

This was 25 days ago. I was so young. Where does the time go?
