Quick disclaimer: I love this site and all of you, I am totally addicted to your positive, inspiring selves!

That having been said:

"Loose" = "loose skin" Or...."how loose is your goose?"

"Lose" = "lose weight"

Therefore you aren't trying to "loose" weight.

Ay caramba!! a;slfjl;asjf;lasdjf!!

    While we're at it:

    your = possessive
    you're = you are

    their = possessive
    there = ie. over there; there are many ...etc..

    I actually love the image of loose weight, very graphic.

    And as for spelling, all I can say is dyslexics of the word "Untie"!! I let spell check do the worrying for me, it no see a problem, I no see a problem.

    Thank you for posting.... simple spelling errors kill me. You should see some of the tickets our reps send to our dispatchers at work. I think they have their own language sometimes. My favorite is "comprend" somewhere between comprehend and comprende' (<----not sure of the spelling on that one my Spanish is rusty)

    Maybe the person has a learning disability and all you are doing is making fun of them. I'm beginning to remember why I hate posting on community boards.

    I visit a LOT of message boards and frankly, way too many people have a problem with basic spelling and grammar skills. They don't all have a learning disability. Perhaps a small percentage do, but the majority were just never taught or didn't spend enough time reading while growing up and don't bother to learn as adults.
