    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.

    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.
    The question is, how does it affect your life if someone uses the wrong lose?

    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.

    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.
    LOL... I cannot correct your errors because it is against forum rules.

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

    Not even close.
    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.
    Oh now now. No need to resort to personal attacks. No need to loose your cool.
