Today's Rant is about a mistake I have come across recently. A whole fic where the Author misused the words allowed and aloud. No, I won't tell you what it was (honestly, I can't remember) and I'm sure the Author has corrected it by now (we hope!). But this mistake has bugged me for several days and I'm hoping that if I write about it, it will stop nagging me. ;) So here goes:

• Allowed - permitted. Examples: Is this allowed? My Mother allowed me to go to the party.
• Aloud - out loud. Examples: He read the passage aloud. Do you enjoy reading aloud?
