some useful spelling tips (brit spelling just in case it matters)

[Skyfire2020]

I came across this article and thought it might be of interest - 21 tricks for remembering spelings.  I know there is a writing tips article or thread somewhere, but I didn't find it after a quick look so I started a new thread.  Feel free to move somewhere else if appropriate.

I always go by this simple rule for "lose vs. loose": whichever spelling you see online is the wrong one.  For example:

Cry havock!  And let lose the dogs of war

As you can see, this is completely wrong.

Well of course! It should be "And let lose the dog's of war"...

"Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose
them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
