All ready (two words) means "ready," with the word all.
Already, an adverb, means "by now," "even now," or "by then."
“All ready” is a phrase meaning “completely prepared,” as in “As soon as I put my coat on, I’ll be all ready.” “Already,” however, is an adverb used to describe something that has happened before a certain time, as in “What do you mean you’d rather stay home? I’ve already got my coat on.”

Altogether means "completely" or "in all."
All together means "together in a single group."
“Altogether” is an adverb meaning “completely,” “entirely.” For example: “When he first saw the examination questions, he was altogether baffled.” “All together,” in contrast, is a phrase meaning “in a group.” For example: “The wedding guests were gathered all together in the garden.” Undressed people are said in informal speech to be “in the altogether” (perhaps a shortening of the phrase “altogether naked” ).
Example:
We were able to walk all together.
There were ten of us altogether, counting Mr. Bemis.
He was altogether baffled by the question.
************************************************************************************

Any time - Though it is often compressed into a single word by analogy with “anywhere” and similar words, “any time” is traditionally a two-word phrase
***********************************************************************************
Anymore is properly used in a statement about a change in a previous condition or activity. It is often spelled as two words, any more, but most authorities accept it as a compound word today.
Example:
I guess it does not matter anymore. (Previous condition. It no longer matters.)
Do not use anymore as a synonym for nowadays, today, or lately.
“Any more” always needs to be used as part of an expression of negation except in questions like “Do you have any more bananas?”
************************************************************************************
The compound pronouns anyone or everyone mean "any person" and "all the people," respectively.
The non-compound modified pronoun any one or every one put a greater emphasis on the word one and mean "any single person or thing" and "every single person or thing." They are usually followed by a prepositional phrase beginning with the word of.
Example:
Did anyone see the eclipse last night? (any person)

The raccoon ate every one of the ears of corn. (every single thing)

Bad is an adjective. It describes nouns or pronouns. It is often used with descriptive linking verbs like look, feel, sound, or to be.
Badly is an adverb (like well). It describes verbs and should be used with all verbs other than linking verbs.

Example:

Things looked bad for the Mudville nine. (Bad describes the noun things.)
Mudville played badly last night. (Badly describes the verb played.)
************************************************************************************
Bear means “carry” (in the case of mothers, the meaning has been extended from carrying the child during pregnancy to actually giving birth). Strippers bare their bodies — sometimes bare-naked.

We burst a dozen water balloons at the party yesterday. (past)
They said he had a burst appendix. (past participle)
********************************************************************************************
Both/Each
There are times when it is important to use “each” instead of “both.” Few people will be confused if you say “I gave both of the boys a baseball glove,” meaning “I gave both of the boys baseball gloves” because it is unlikely that two boys would be expected to share one glove; but you risk confusion if you say “I gave both of the boys $50.” It is possible to construe this sentence as meaning that the boys shared the same $50 gift. “I gave each of the boys $50” is clearer.
************************************************************************************
Can as an auxiliary verb means "to be able to."
May as an auxiliary verb means "to be permitted to."
Example:
May we talk?
We may talk if you can listen to my side
************************************************************************************

Calling someone “callous” is a way of metaphorically suggesting a lack of feeling similar to that caused by calluses on the skin; but if you are speaking literally of the tough build-up on a person’s hand or feet, the word you need is “callused.”
Callus is a composite mass of tissue that forms at a fracture site to establish continuity between the bone ends; it is composed initially of uncallused fibrous tissue and cartilage, and ultimately of bone.
Callus or callosity is circumscribed thickening of the keratin layer of the epidermis as a result of repeated friction or intermittent pressure.

Cult is normally a noun, though it can be used as an adjective meaning "having a cult following" as in a cult film.
Occult literally means "hidden" and generally refers to the pursuit of some kind of magic or secret supernatural knowledge or power.

In the sense of "particular" or "particularly," the words mean pretty much the same thing. Often they can be used synonymously.

He did especially well in All-Star Game. (A noteworthy performance)

It’s the opposite of “both,” and refers to one at a time: “Either ketchup or mustard is good on a hot dog.” But if “either” is modifying a subject in an “either . . . or” phrase, then the number of the verb is determined by the number of the second noun: “Either the puppy or the twins seem to need my attention every other minute.”

Most of the time “might” and “may” are almost interchangeable, with “might” suggesting a somewhat lower probability. You’re more likely to get wet if the forecaster says it may rain than if she says it might rain. But “might” is also the past tense of the auxiliary verb “may,” and is required in sentences like “Chuck might have avoided arrest for the robbery if he hadn’t given the teller his business card before asking for the money.” When speculating that events might have been other than they were, don’t substitute “may” for “might."

He was still a little boy. (small in size)
Please give me a little milk. (small amount of)
This becomes trickier in the comparative and superlative because little has two different forms.
If little means "small in size," the comparative is littler or more little, and the superlative is littlest.
If little means "small amount of," the comparative is less for qualities or quantities that cannot be individually counted and fewer with objects that can be counted one-by-one, and the superlative is least.

That, which, and who when used as relative pronouns each have a distinct function.
In modern speech, which refers only to things. Who (or its forms whom and whose) refers only to people. That normally refers to things but it may refer to a class or type of person.
Example:
That is a book, which I need for the class.
These are the books that I need for the class.
He is the man who will be teaching the class.
They are the type of people who would lie to their mothers.
They are the type of people that would lie to their mothers. (That is OK here because it is a class or type.)

This is one of those cases where it is important to remember that possessive pronouns never take apostrophes, even though possessive nouns do. “Who’s” is a contraction of “who is” or “who has”. “Whose” is the possessive form of “who”.
Example:
“Who’s that guy with the droopy mustache?”
“Who’s been eating my porridge?”
“Whose dirty socks are these on the breakfast table?”
************************************************************************************
“Who” is the subject form of the pronoun and “whom” is the object form. There is an effective test for “who” or “whom” can be used. Try rewriting the sentence using “he” or “him.” Clearly “He bribed he" is incorrect; you would say “he bribed him.” Where “him” is the proper word in the paraphrased sentence, use “whom.”
Example:
“Who was wearing that awful dress at the Academy Awards banquet?” is correct because “who” is the subject of the sentence.
“The MC was so startled by the neckline that he forgot to whom he was supposed to give the Oscar” is correct because “whom” is the object of the preposition “to.”
************************************************************************************
Who and whom correspond to he and him. Who is the subject or predicate nominative . Whom is the object.
Example:
Who are you? (Subject)
Whom do you see? (Direct object)
Whom did you give it to? (Object of preposition to)
Who did that? (Subject)
************************************************************************************
“You’re” is always a contraction of “you are.” If you’ve written “you’re,” try substituting “you are.” If it doesn’t work, the word you want is “your.”
Example: Your writing will improve if you’re careful about this.
