    Difference between whether and weather.

    I am sure many people are still confused between these 2 words(because I am:))
    Just wanted to share one way of differentiating.

    Weather has "water" in it, which usually refers to climate. So weather is climate.

    So, it becomes easier to differentiate.

    There are many words resembling each other but different in meaning. Only practice and keen observation can help.

    Partibhan- I think the preposition 'to' is unnecessary before 'learn. So the sentence should be- 'I hope this will help me learn new words."

    Affect- is a verb. Effect- a noun. so, smoking affects our health badly. or smoking has bad effect on our health.

    Effect also means belonging- As he lost all his personal effects in the train robbery.

    Yes a very good place to actually differentiate between commonly mistaken words.

    E.g. when I am actually angry or fuming about something, I have actually been asked a number of times as to why I am NERVOUS? Seriously, is nervous synonymous with angry?

    Another pair of misused words that I have come across are convulsion and conversion.

    Convulsion is a medical condition of body in which there is rapid contraction and relaxation of muscles.

    Conversion is changing from one form to another; frequently used in terms of changing currency from one type to another.

    See the difference and yet is being used in place of one another!
