Any one vs. Anyone

I didn't even know there was a difference between "any one" and "anyone"..So for all of you that are way behind and didn't know that either, here is the difference and the correct way to use each of them.

Anyone- means any person
ex: Any one of you could do this part of the project.

Any one- means any single person or thing out of a group of individuals or things
ex: Has anyone seen the new movie that just came out?

i.e. or e.g. ?

A common mistake made in writing is getting i.e. confused with e.g.

i.e. means "that is" and e.g. means "for example".

A comma follows both of those abreviations as well which is also a common mistake.

Examples:

Use a writing utensil (e.g., pen or pencil).

It is cold outside (i.e., a jacket will be needed).

Modes...

The two modes I am debating between using is the Cause and Effect mode and the Descriptive mode. The topic that I am writing on is Anorexia Nervosa.

For Cause and Effect mode I found the following website to be helpful:

For the Descriptive mode I found the following website to be helpful:

Purpose of a Preposition

A preposition is designed to give more detail and information to a sentance.
A preposition gives information of time, location, and action and movement.
Many people say that it is improper to end a sentance with a preposition, however this is a highly controversial subject and not everyone may agree.

Some examples of senteces with and without prepositions are:

Without: Lets go there then.
With: Lets go BEHIND the building AT noon TO dumb the trash.

Without: Meet me there.
With: Meet me IN FRONT OF target BY five o'clock so we can go INTO the store together.

This website has a list on all of the prepositions of it incase any of you were wondering about more:

Patty This is for YOU! :)

So the question I narrowed down finally and decided to use and research for 12 long pages is:

How does excercies compare to claorie restriction in weightloss?

(Please make sure you give me suggestions if you have any or see any potential problems with this question) THANKS.

Some backgroud info and facts I learned is:
-many doctors and studys tend to say that excercise is enough to lose weight and that restricting calories isnt all that important.
-Cutting too many calories early in life can limit amount of muscle one can have later in life
- 55% of the adult population in the United States is obese or overweight
- excercise prevents dying of desease when older but does not make you life span any longer said one study. Hm...
- Calorie restriction creates changes in the bodys hormone leves that excercise does not do

Those were just a few fun facts i found... Below is listed some websites of studys I found interesting and helpful.

Would of Vs. Would have

I commonly find myself (most of the time while text messaging) wondering if I should use would "of" or would "have" or could "of" vs. could "have". This is a hard one because although both words are completely different they sound the same so its easy so misuse them.

- Could of or Would of apparently don't make sence and are not grammically correct.

Correct Examples:

I could have ran that errand for you.

I would have gone to the gym with you if you invited me.

Here is a website with a few different examples (It is number 10). Hope this clarified for some of you out there that text like me! :)
