    YES it matters! They are two entirely different meanings. Do we know what the poster means? Yes, but that doesn't make it grammatically correct.

    This is driving me crazy, you want to LOSE weight and don't want LOOSE skin. Get the spelling right FGS!

    There, their, they're. *Pats you*.

    I see what you did there :laugh:

    OP, it kinda makes me twitchy too but I know it's really not that big a deal so I have learned to ignore it.

    This is a common pet peeve of mine. I cringe every.single.time. But what can you do? Pick friends wisely?

    Seriously. Whenever I see that, I feel like I'm going to loose my mind.

    Makes me twitch too..... if the errors are very common and if no one is centred out in the correction then I don't believe it's rude to draw attention to the misuse.

    I hate to say it but I agree. It's such a simple word. How sad that you can't spell a four-letter word properly.

    YOUR RITE!

    Hahaha

    Sorry to say that this one drives me bonkers on here too. Especially because it seems that the incorrect usage appears more frequently than the correct one.

    Then I remember that the site is used by people whose first language isn't necessarily English.

    And then I remember that some users are posting from a mobile device with autocorrect. That would be the same evil feature that insists on replacing the "well" that I've typed with "we'll" when I text... grrrr.

    But if you lose weight, then it's okay if your clothes become loose!

    Correcting spelling is against the forum rules.

    Is it really? I did not know this. Still, to be fair, this was not a personal attack on any one individual's spelling, so I'm not certain it would apply to such a rule. I imagine such a rule would be in place to prohibit the harassment of an individual. This is a discussion about the differentiation between two words with vastly different meanings. You know what might be equally petty as correcting a person's spelling directly? Reporting the OP. I mean...really.
