This entry will be fairly short, mainly because I NEVER thought I'd have to explain this one.
I was on a social networking website the other day and an acquaintance wrote, "I didn't wright that comment."
My jaw literally dropped… hanging open in shock.
Write = To compose, to form words, to express or communicate using acknowledged shapes, etc.
As in: To write on a piece of paper.
Right = Proper, Correct, legal claim to a title, the opposite of left, etc.
As in: To be right about something in an argument.
Wright = a worker or builder, attached to words to form a "creator" of said other word (e.g. playwright), or Orville and Wilbur "creators" of the first plane.
As in: The playwright composed a sonnet.
Rite = Religious act, any established ceremony.
As in: Spring cleaning is almost a rite of passage.
Remember the writing rite is every playwright's right.
