    Oh heck, that's why I made it a "general" comment. It's not directed at anyone in particular. I make mistakes as well and have also made fun of myself in this post. It's all just a wink and a poke. I don't truly want to hurl when I see it. I was just making the statement for those who may truly not have known and would like to know. I would be one of those people. If I'm continuously making a silly mistake in spelling, I would like to know as not to be judged by those who truly do get all in a tizzy about it!

    Having said this, I wasn't trying to insult, offend, or upset, I was merely trying to help and make others laugh it off. All good intentions here!

    Hey, if we can't laugh at ourselves, and if we take a message board topic so serious as to get angry over spelling, maybe we need to re-evaluate our priorities. ( see, I don't even know if I spelled re-evaluate correctly!)

    Mostly, I think on places like this, unless trying to make a highly educated point, people tend to type the way they would talk to a friend. I"m guilty of that.

    One of my favorite things is when someone doesn't like something I write and they respond with: "Your dumb"
    I can't help but laugh every time.

    I knew I had gone over to the dark side when I could type "LOL" without internally cringing.

    The mix-up of "you're" and "your" drives me crazy big-time.

    Praise Jesus!
    I also make grammatical errors but "lose" vs "loose" drives me absolutely insane!

    My other peeve: seperate; it's correctly spelled: separate. <-- we use the word at work a lot and 90% of the time, it's spelled wrong! :huh:

    I'll be totally honest.... I will NOT read any forum or blog that begins with "loose" weight....

    Really? That's pretty petty!
    :ohwell:

    This thread made me laugh. My history school teacher had an argument with me when I corrected her on this. She exclaimed that loose and lose were the same. People of the world, it is not.

    It is quite annoying to see 'loose' on this site when you know it is meant to be 'lose', especially as it is used SO much. Maybe we should have an auto-correction tool for this common problem.
