E.1 CONVENTIONS OF STANDARD ENGLISH E.1.1 USE CONVENTIONS OF STANDARD ENGLISH SPELLING Spelling can play an important part in a clinic or doctor’s office. For example, a nurse must recognize medical homonyms — words that sound the same but are spelled differently, such as plural(more than one) and pleural(having to do with the lung). On the English and Language Usage portion of the TEAS exam, you must be able to use the conventions of standard English spelling. Look for homophones, or words that sound alike but are spelled differently and have different meanings. Words like there — their — they’reare easily confused in spelling. Remember spelling rules like “ibefore eexcept after cor when sounded as aas in neighboror weigh.”Be aware of exceptions to this rule, such as caffeineand heir. Be aware of similar words that are often confused, such as advice — adviseor conscious — conscience. Use reference works such as a dictionary or thesaurus to check spelling. When using word-processing software, remember that a spell-check feature cannot catch mistakes when you type a wrong word that is spelled correctly, such as oneinstead of ore.
