Gee, we've already listed every word that popped into my head when I saw the subject. BTW, I see a lot of really educated people having trouble with
"definitely."
I have young kids. They covered too, two and to in about 2nd grade. I made darn sure they learned these words well when they were starting out.
Drives me nuts!
If it is the possesive it has to be it's ..I never saw any other variety of it .
Actually, "it's" is a contraction for "it is" or "it has."

Drives me nuts!

I had to laugh - My wife always switches "bring" and "take" ("could you bring this out to the car?"). I have tried to convince her that they are not interchangeable, but could never find anything to back up the distinction.
