Sell vs. sale
I'm frustrated that i continue to receive letters from my childrens' elementary and middle schools mixing up the words sell and sale. Am I wrong?? Example: We will have candy to sell, so bring extra money!

That sentence is correct. You think "We will have candy to sale" sounds better? That would be incorrect.
