I'm aware this thread is veering even further off tangent, but so does every child in Singapore and Hong Kong. :-)You're comparing apples and oranges. In the US, at least in public schools, every child has a right to a free education. Every single one.

I often start to correct posters' grammar..... but then I eat a piece of chocolate and calm myself.

It's very easy to pick apart people's grammar.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.
It's not inability to spell, it's often lack of knowledge of which to use in certain context. Like knowing you're, your, or yore. English is an exceptionally difficult language even for native speakers. When people see the misuse often enough, it becomes confusing. That being said, I KNOW which word to use, but I'll often mistype and use the wrong one. Because it's not a misspelling, spell check says it's fine. So, I'll go back to "It's My Fitness Pal, not My Grammar Pal." Let's give people a break, or is it brake?
Its not like that at all! Lose & loose are pronounced differently!
Idk why it annoys me a lot tooooo
What does "tooooo" mean?
See.
Worrying about how others spell is just so unnecessary.
That's obviously intentional. You're just being difficult.0 -
This isn't even a grammar or spelling error! It's just totally using the wrong word haha.0
-
I absolutely agree. It's appalling, the amount of people who don't know how to write in their OWN native language. What on earth?
and people complain about certain groups of people breaking into their country, and not learning /their/ wonderful language.
and they can't even type in that very same language correctly! :P
people are going to throw a grade A hissy fit over that comment, but my goodness people its the truth. have pride in your language and learn basic, everyday rules of using it.0 -
I gave up correcting the mistakes of the public school system such as this long ago. I don't even blame the person using the wrong word or the word wrong, it's the people who taught them that should be ashamed.0

No idea why spelling bothers people so much, especially when it's on the internet.0

It's almost as bad as when people type out sentences and somewhere in them type lol or haha.This isn't even a grammar or spelling error! It's just totally using the wrong word haha.

This is driving me crazy, you want to LOSE weight and don't want LOOSE skin. Get the spelling right FGS!
Run on sentence. Just saying.0 -
Storm in a tee cup.
No I cant get overly worked up about this, just seems such a minor and petty rant to me.0 -
This bothers me too. It bothers me because I have started to look twice when I see one of those words spelled correctly.0

It also drives me crazy, but these threads are utterly pointless. People are going to insist on misspelling words and using incorrect grammar even though some of them clearly know better. You can't micromanage everyone.0

People without a face have no opinions. Because you don't have a mouth.

So are you an exceptional dog, or a stupid man? Curious.0 -

I think those that don't understand how language works may be able to grasp the complexity of this incredibly important life lesson with the usage of imagery.

The question is, how does it affect your life if someone uses the wrong lose?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.
Other than the cringe I get when I read it? It doesn't in the short term. It just makes me sad that 1) people don't know the difference between the two words when they are grade school spelling words. And 2) It makes me sadder that people shrug and say it doesn't make a difference when it very clearly does make a difference because they are two entirely different words. By accepting the wrong use of it we are dumbing down our language. What next? We've already accepted that people don't know the difference between your and you're and they're, their and there. It just seems to me that we accept these things too easily anymore.
Am I going to make a big deal of if? No. I get that we're all here to lose weight and to learn how to be healthier. This isn't a grammar site and a lot of people here don't even speak English as their first language. I'm not here to be the grammar Nazi but that doesn't mean it doesn't make me cringe.
OH

Get lost OP. C wat I did ther?0

LOL... I cannot correct your errors because it is against forum rules.I absolutely agree. It's appalling, the amount of people who don't know how to write in their OWN native language. What on earth?
and people complain about certain groups of people breaking into their country, and not learning /their/ wonderful language.
and they can't even type in that very same language correctly! :P
