lose vs. loose

nebakanessa

This makes me crazy. People: you want to LOSE weight, you do not want LOOSE skin. I don't think it is possible to "loose weight". That's all folks.

Since "lose" should be spelt "looz" anyway, I'm not losing sleap over it.

English spelling is completely irrational.

I want to lose weight to see my trousers getting loose

I've pretty much given up hoping that the majority of people on this site will use proper English.

Trust me, you're fighting a losing battle.

Proper English died with Chaucer.

That's a pet peeve of mine as well. I also cringe every time someone writes "your" when they mean "you're." In order to maintain my sanity, I just think about this blog post every time I come across bad grammar in a forum: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html

The hyperboleandahalf blog is hilarious and drives the point home - well to some - it's a start.

There are so many ways to "get" someone messing up in English. Even in your above post, I'm *pretty* sure you made an error. (There are so many rules and exceptions, I'm not positive.) You wrote someone and then referred to someone with "they." Someone is singular while they is plural. (Feel free to fix my errors. I don't mind.)

I absolutely hate it. Should I ignore it? Yes. Do I? No. I think my blood pressure rises a bit every time I read someone using loose instead of lose. This thread should be required reading for every new member.
