If you’re going to get a tattoo, make sure your artist writes it right because it’s hard to correct their inkings. That’s the big idea in this short lesson on commonly misspelled words like their/there/they’re and it’s/its.  Images and a short YouTube video reinforce the message that spelling is important. Links to the video and other grammar sites are included.
