• Common Spelling Rules: "i before e except after c" helps remember the spelling of words like "received." However, there are exceptions, so always verify.

• Verb Tenses: Using the correct verb tense, such as "lay" (past tense of "lie") instead of "layed," ensures accurate communication.

• Homophones and Confusables: Words like "recieved" vs. "received" and "completly" vs. "completely" highlight the importance of correct spelling to avoid confusion.
