Grammar Police Monday - Valuable Gems

It's time for more commonly confused words... First on the list: appraise and apprise . If you estimate the value of something, you appraise it.  When you inform someone of a situation, you apprise them. Next: wonder vs wander : If you think about something curiously, you wonder about it.  If you roam aimlessly, you wander . Last: palate , palette and pallet . Your palate can mean the roof of your mouth or your sense of taste. A palette is a small board an artist uses to mix paint colors. A pallet is a small or makeshift bed. See you again soon. Thanks for visiting. :)
