Did You LOSE Something When Your Wheels Came LOOSE?

SacramentoMike · Jun 18, 2008

OK, I can't conduct spelling and grammar classes for all of you, but it's worth a shot here. As a longtime internet user I've grown used to misplaced apostrophies, misspellings, typos, and all the other ways a writer can go wrong, but the one that just GRINDS MY TEETH, and I hate to say one that's seen hereabouts waaaaay too often, is seeing the word "lose" (you know, you can't find something) spelled "loose" (damn, I have a loose tooth. Notify the tooth fairy.") Not to mention "Hey, what a looser you are." Ghhhhhrrrrrkkkk! :ranting2:

OK, that's it. Before you post, feel free to PM me. I'll be glad to advise on a case-by-case basis.

Don't even get me started on the way that our society has started accepting stupid phrases like, "My Bad."

Your bad? Your bad what? Brain? Yeah, I think so.

That about sums it it up.

Good grammar or good posts?

unfortunately, we are the receivers of text messaging spelling habits.

In the end, we all loose.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I really get annoyed at things like, "Ghhhhhrrrrrkkkk". I mean, what the **** izzat? Your cat coughing up a fur ball or sumpin'?

I mean, really... Do people really need this to get ~~there~~ ~~they're~~... Awe, screw it. It's just the neenernet anyway.

My contribution is that I road the breaks way too hard! Those two words are used out of context here often.

Thank God I learned to spell before text messaging. And I learned to make change before the computer told the clerk how much to give the guy back, so now they just count it to themselves and hand you a fistful of money. (I love to wait till they've punched in the "$10.08 out of $20.00," and then hand them an extra dime. Wow, what a puzzle! It's like their brains have come lose.)

Grammar ain't nothing but a bunch of rules -- and rules were made to be broken, so what's the big deal?
