People! People! People! "Do" and "due" are two different words!!!
They are spelled differently, they are pronounced differently, and they MEAN DIFFERENT THINGS!!! They're not even the same parts of speech!! Really! The next time I see a post that uses "do" when "due" is the appropriate word, I'll be forced to take action!! And it won't be pretty!

Thank you. That is all.

11. Hey, these kinds of things run the full gambit
some have more of an effect than others.

Also, eye really hate homophones. And there is nothing worse in this world than misusing hyperbole!

32. She's right. Check out the Merriam-Webster pronunciation key.
Main Entry: do
Pronunciation: \ˈdü\

Main Entry: due
Pronunciation: \ˈdü\

Obviously those are completely different.
