Communication Briefings - 3 Common Errors
Even professional communicators, make mistakes - usually because of haste rather than ignorance.  Here are some of the most common:

1.  Between you and I. The correct form is "between you and me."  Between is a preposition like with or from, so use an objective pronoun: me.
2.  All ready.  Unless you are referring to a group - "We were all ready to go" - you should use the adverb already, meaning by this time.  Example: We already covered that.
3.  It's.  Easily misused, the word it's is a contraction meaning it is.  The word its is a possessive pronoun.
