Today, let's look at a few commonly confused words.
A doctor prescribes antibiotics when you are ill.
A vein is a blood vessel or a distinctive style.
The word rain is used to describe the drops of water that fall from clouds.
Reign is the period during which a sovereign occupies the throne.
A rein is a long strap used to lead a horse.
The saying, to have 'free rein' over something, comes from the loosening of the reins on a horse to give it more freedom. So the phrase should be FREE REIN, not free reign.
WHETHER is a conjunction similar to *if*.
I want to go to the beach, whether you go or not.
And then there is WEATHER—like the frigid cold temperatures and snow.
I'm going to the beach regardless of the weather.
Next, you are asking what the heck is a WETHER?
Yes, I said *a* wether because wether is a noun and is a castrated ram/male sheep.
Are you ready for your MNEMONIC for weather, whether, and wether?
This one is a little more difficult to remember, but if you get this, you'll never use *wether* incorrectly.
"The farmer looked out the window and wondered whether the wether would weather the weather or whether the weather would kill the wether."
Memorize that one. There will be a test later.
