Didn't realise they had two different meanings, In the case of swinging it's discreet.

No, two different spellings, each with its own discrete meaning

I don't mind a grammar lesson. Reading a book on grammar now, really good book. I might be able to join the grammar police when I have finished it.

Some others for you then ;

Your, you're, yore, yaw

There, their, they're, theirs, there's

Whose, who's

Its, it's

to, too, two

I'm sure there are plenty more....

One that often confused me was when to use who and whom - sometimes it sounds right, but is grammatically wrong and vice versa. If I'm unsure now, I replace the subject with male third person singular or third person plural and if it's Him or Them, then it should be whom (they all end in m).

For example: Who/Whom did we meet? - (it was him/them), so it should be Whom

Interesting, that one. According to the Oxford Dictionary, that is the correct formal grammar but as with all things in our language, it is subject to debate and seems to be changing now so that the word 'whom' is pretty much redundant.
