There is something that is simply driving me insane of late.
PASSED: To move on or ahead; proceed.
EXAMPLE: Dean PASSED the girl as he walked.
PAST: So as to pass by or go beyond
Dean walked PAST the girl.
Got it? Good!
I've read the wrong way so many times, I now have to double think when I write it in a sentence. I had to double think my examples above. STOP confusing me when I have enough bad habits in my writing as it is.

Definitions from http://www.thefreedictionary.com, example sentence by me. :P
EDIT: I'm told this may be another "American-ism." Is it? If so, can someone find me proof in the form of an American English dictionary with example sentences or something, because I just don't believe it.
