No, you don't need to loose weight. Loose is what your clothes become after you lose weight. Just wanted to clarify that for people.

    Don't get me started on 'desert' and 'dessert'. Then there's 'There' and 'Their'. I'm not a grammar nazi but it really gets into my OCD obsession. RAWR.

    Your vs you're
    Their vs they're vs there

    Literally vs figuratively

    Word crimes

    Nice hair though.

    I remember a teacher telling us dessert has two esses/Ss because you always want seconds! That is how I remember that one!

    It's been posted about a million times.......do a search and just up it. It's nothing new.........I tend to ignore it and find it harder to deal with the people who keep posting about the misuse of it.

    And I thought I was being a dickhead by posting what I posted...

    True. Eight hours at work with very little work to be done. Gotta kill time in some way...

    We are in a world of imperfect people. I am a terrible speller. Forgive my weakness. Let it go and we will all be happier.

    And I don't want to hear about anyone's "waste size".

    It kills me that loose is actually more common than lose on here. I could ignore it, except that it appears that the misspelling is now more common than the correct spelling. So I just don't even read their threads.

    Exactly. I see loose MORE than lose! That is what kills me!

    I'd rather lose than be loose
